The core concept is cutting vegetables in long and fine pieces and cooking them in a bowl with a touch of Mustard Oil, Salt, Turmeric and Green Chilies with some water on medium to low heat. Once it’s cooked, finish off with a slight drizzle of mustard oil and some finely chopped Coriander leaves. And that’s pretty much it!
