my notes

green chilies, garlic, ginger, red chili paste, black pepper powder, salt and sugar can be adjusted
to suit one's taste.

i have stir fried the veggies on medium heat so that they don't burn. if using high heat to stir fry
the veggies than be careful so that they burn.

add more cornflour paste if you want a thicker sauce or gravy.
