• Don’t add water because while steaming the corn and potatoes they suck sufficient water and it’s enough for kneading the mixture.
• Garam masala and Kaala masala is optional, add or adjust it as per your choice.
• Add other spices as per your choice.
• You can also make this dish without potatoes.
