One tablespoon mustard seeds…
one teaspoon asafoetida..!?

One might want to start off with
a tiny fraction of those quantities,
and work up from there in subsequent
episodes.

Spicing is always a matter of personal taste. It is also a matter of quatity of what is being spiced. This is a good bit of veggies and to me the spicing sounds fine, but I do like spicy things.

It is certainly easier to add spices later than to take them out if there is too much 🙂
