Notes
The total quantity of vegetables taken should be 1 to 1 & ½ kg. If some of the vegetables are not available, you can just replace it with some other vegetables.
The vegetables are added at different levels of cooking as different vegetables take different amount of time to get cooked. Some vegetables if cooked for too long get very soft and mushy which we do not want.
This khatkhate recipe serves 10-12 people. You can reduce the quantities of the ingredients proportionately to make it for fewer people.
