No quantity were adding in this recipe for the reason that it is all
up to taste. I recommend to add a lot of vegetables.

This meal came as a surprise since Anushree prepared us this meal and
we didn’t know what it was. We all were very happy to have a homemade
taste of India.

As usual please try this at home, Friends and familly are not required
but encourage.
