Notes

Red chilli can be used instead of green. Chilli powder/ pav bhaji powder/channa Masala or any other powder can added along with other powder
Any type of celery can be used,I have used the green one
I have used salt in small amount during various process of cooking adjust the salt quantity accordingly
Equal amount of grape/cherry tomatoes can be used instead of regular tomatoes
