- You can add or remove the veggies/greens according to your preference. Cabbage, turnip, spring onion would taste good too.
- Ensure finger millet flour paste is mixed in soup immediately and evenly otherwise it will form lump.
- The amount of water required depends upon the soup consistency you prefer. I have kept it bit thick.
- The veggies shouldn't be cooked till mushy. They should have some crunch in them.
