Notes
Adjust chillies and Chettinad masala to suit your palate.
Feel free to use cauliflower, cabbage or any vegetables of your choice. This is an ideal dish to use up leftover vegetables from the fridge that otherwise would end up in a bin!
Water could be substituted with vegetable stock for added flavour.
Paneer makes an amazing addition. Either add paneer cubes along with the vegetables or make paneer Chettinad without any vegetables.
