Tips:

• If you are using dried kurinja leaves, soak them in water for 30 minutes before cooking.
• You can also add other vegetables to this stir-fry, such as bell peppers, carrots, or potatoes.
• For a richer flavor, add a splash of coconut milk or cream to the stir-fry.
• Serve the stir-fry with a side of yogurt or raita to help cool the heat.
