Put all the cut vegetables in the vessel.
Add only a tsp of cooking oil.Some salt. Mix thorughly.
Cover & Keep the flame to the lowest.
Stir once in a while to prevent charring at the bottom.

How about a sandwich?

Khti ~Amina ~I’m trying to go on a gluten free diet so no Kobz. Boreak, isn't a bad idea, hmmm I suppose I can stick them in the oven instead of frying them.

~ Sania ~ Never tried Cumin with vegetables before and what is capsicum ? Not sure about steamed Cauliflowe and cabbage with fresh green chilies though.

You can use gluten-free flour and make your own bread or filo! I never fry bourak, always bake them instead. They still taste good and are a lot healthier.

Have you tried gluten free bread ? Not nice.

Oh I tried Milwi with gluten free flour and the taste is rather perciluar. It breaks very easily to. But I'm trying to cut down on bread completely.

Been living on Ryvita's for a while now.

Is that an alternative to going to the gym?

No I never tried gluten-free stuff, but I can guess they don't taste nice. They are ok when you don't have the choice I suppose.
