You can use vegetables as per your choice.
Sometimes i use only 1 cup of grated lauki.
For better taste fry it just before serving.
While arranging for straming make sure to leave enough gap as they might double in size.
You can sprinkle some chopped coriander leaves while serving.
Make sure to adjust chilli if you are serving to kids.
