Indonesian Gado Gado Salad

This is Indonesia's staple food which I tasted in Bali... Its a mix of blanched vegetables and a peanut dressing.
Gado means "mixed" in Indonesian. Gado Gado is said to have originated in Jakarta and is the traditional food of Betawi, the original inhabitants of Indonesia.
The recipe i am posting is little bit different as i have put some of my flavours...
