Notes

  • Feel free to add any other veggies such as butternut squash, peas, baby corn, sweet potato, green beans, etc
  • If you don't have any ground spices you could use 1 tbsp of curry powder  or Thai curry paste instead. Obviously, the flavor will not be the same, especially if you take this to the Thai direction.  You would fry it in oil just like the spices.
  • Instead of the cumin and coriander, you could also add some garam masala if you have some in your pantry.
