Calories: 200

This is a highly nutritious meal which retains all the flavours, minerals and vitamins of all the veg. used in it. Once you boil th veg. you retain the stock and add it back to the final recipe. This saves you from losing the value of the ingredients.

You can make a non-veg. version of it using boneless chicken or sausages.

• long and thin sliced carrot
• 2 inch piece cauliflower
• baby corn
• mushroom sliced
