Cook's notes
For an extra tangy kick, add a splash of imli (tamarind) water or a bit more lemon juice.
Prepare the boiled potatoes and chop vegetables ahead of time, storing them separately. Assemble just before serving to maintain freshness and crunch.
Adjust the spiciness by increasing or decreasing the green chilies and red chili powder. For a milder version, omit green chilies.
