ChupaNote: Warmed 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes in the oil before adding other spices. Added: 1 large sweet onion minced, a handful of frozen peas rinsed in hot water (NOT defrosted) when you add the other veggies, add one red bell pepper when you take cover off pot (leaves the pepper crispy. Next time, I'll add a handful of cashews or pistachios.
