You know what I mean once you taste this if you haven’t.

Additional advice:
1. It’s best to pick fresh vegetables. You must buy them within the day you plan to cook this dish.
2. If curry powder is not that spicy to you, you may choose turmeric or chili, but you must control the amount to use. Otherwise, it becomes too spicy that you won’t love the overall taste of the food. It won’t be also good if you have children to feed.
3. Aside from Pita or naan bread, you may choose others. You can make your own bread, too.
