Suva is quite strong and pungent in taste but combines well with almost all vegetables and lentils,If you like the flavour then can use a lot to make this stir fry and if you are trying this first time then start with small quantity of dill. You can also use dill in salad and raitas ,it gives a very nice fennel like aroma and taste to any dish, dill can be used raw or cooked both ways.
