  11. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  12. Stir in the milk or cream and cook for another minute until slightly thickened.

  15. Garnish with fresh parsley (optional).
  16. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
