Notes
De-seeding green chillies is not required. But as the chillies I used was super hot, I removed the seeds.
Also use any vegetables of your choice. If you are using capsicum use around ¼ cup.
I used the top green portion of the lemon grass stalk for this.
You can boil the veggies in thin coconut milk also. I just went with regular water.
