Notes
- Add both mustard greens and collard greens for a traditional touch.
- Instead of Normandy vegetables, you could use spinach and other greens.
- Instead of gram flour, you can use cornstarch for a smoother consistency.
- You could use ginger garlic paste if you do not have fresh ginger and garlic.
- Adjust the spices according to your preference. If you need more heat, add a green chili to the vegetables.
- Garnish with a dollop of butter (vegan) or cream for added flavor and texture.
