Note

Fennel seeds can be added for extra flavor: toast 1/2 teaspoon of fennel seeds with the onions in step 2.

For a richer texture, stir in a tablespoon of butter or olive oil after cooking.

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat with a splash of water to restore moisture.

Substitute vegetable stock cubes with low-sodium vegetable broth for a healthier option.

This dish pairs well with grilled vegetables, chickpeas, or as a side to curries.
