Notes

Avoid Asafoetida if you are on gluten-free diet.
Add the chillies/red chilli powder as per the spice tolerance. I skipped red chilli powder as I have added green chillies.
Veggie can be made with dried fenugreek leaves(kasuri methi), add 2-3 tbsp or as required.
Keep the flame to low-medium to avoid burning of the veggies.
