Sauteed broccoli
I opted for sauteed broccoli to add the crunchiness and the fact that you need some green food for their healing properties.
Just sautee some broccoli florets, keep the stems to make a vegetable broth.

sauteed broccoli

Notes
- Bicarbonate of soda will help the broccoli to cook fast and retain their color
- Make sure to add just a little amount and don't over sautee the broccoli, otherwise, they will lose their texture and become too soft
- I use the bicarbonate in powder form
- If you end up with some chili leftovers, just store them in a closed container in the fridge up to 4 days.

How much Turmeric? How much Ginger?? Is it written somewhere and I missed it? Regardless it should say the amount in the list of ingredients.
Githu
Hi Bruce, I really appreciate your visit and observation. I normally leave it to people to decide how much ginger they want to use as too little can be not enough for some while others prefer just a little piece. As for turmeric, I use a whole root. I just corrected the amount, I thank you for this. Just to note, I use fresh ginger & turmeric roots. Many blessings to you.
