This is a great recipe to experiment with depending on whats available. Use a single or combo of vegetables. Avoid bell peppers, cabbage, potatoes and broccoli as much as possible as these can lead to excess gas formation. Feel free to experiment with the herbs and spices in your locality but minimise on ginger, black pepper, chilli and garlic if you have extra heat in your body.
