Notes
- You can adjust the level of spice as per your taste. As I eat salt and spices only once a day during fasts, so I feel like to eat little more spicy.
- Using Desi ghee/clarified butter in place of oil will make your sabzi taste much more good.
- You can adjust the amount of water depending how thin or thick you want your gravy to be.
