There is considerable flexibility in choosing the vegetables to be added. It can include seasonal vegetables and common vegetables like capsicum, cabbage, cauliflower, french beans, peas, carrots, potato, tomato, onion etc.

    Delicious! I added more salt to taste, reduced the chili powder to 3/4 teaspoon . . . and increased the amount of fresh ginger as I always do. I also used coconut milk instead of cream.

  2. Cooking it today; it is just finishing off as I write, but it looks good! Omitted the blender stage as was short of time but by the appearance that omission has not detracted from the effect. Am just reducing it to a thicker consistency. Looking forward to it!
