Notes

  1. I have used the vegetables that were available .You can add cabbage or any other vegetable  of your choice.
  2. Add the chilli flakes and pepper powder as per your spice tolerance .
  3. I have used a steamer plate to steam these . You may steam it in a idli cooker too.
  4. I have used dark soya sauce for the sauce. It has salt hence no salt is added.
  5. Serve hot always to enjoy the best taste.
  6. Good idea to get  a fussy eater to eat veggies.
