actually i had left with very little orange and pineapple juice,and was wondering how and where to use it,so added to this veg.and believe me,the sourness of pineapple ,brings out the spiciness of green chilies which i added to the veg and tangyness of orange blend,well with fenugreek,just amazing taste hope you guys will like it.
