Notes

  • Add Spices on simmer to avoid burnt taste.
  • Spices shall be always added after onion directly in oil.
  • Cover by a lid to let all veggies gradually leave water.
  • This water helps in cooking veggies quickly. You may add little salt after onion too.
  • Don't soak mushrooms in water as they would become soggy and lose all the texture.
