* spring onion, sliced

* celery, sliced

* onion, chopped

* garlic, chopped

* nutmeg (pala), grated to powder

* half piece tomato, cut

* salt

* white pepper

* 2 table spoons cooking oil (olive oil is better)

* 1500 ml water

CVBS 1

Cooking steps:

* sauté garlic and onion in 2 tablespoons of cooking oil, stir until it smells good
