Notes

  • I added piri piri to make it a bit spicy but its purely optional.
  • The vegetables used is of your choice,but do not use vegetables that leave out more water, choose hard vegetables that cook easily.
  • If you want to bake it, bake in preheated oven at 200 deg C for 20 mins.
  • We will surely miss the crust on top in this stove top version but you will get a slightly crusty base if you use iron skillet.
  • The main difference between the baked and stove top version is the crust on top.
  • The vegetables needs only to be 3/4 th cooked else it will become mushy.
  • You can even steam the veggies and directly add into white sauce.
