Hindi term or phrase: ghas phoos

they are looking for a place to eat, and the conversation goes like:

“That new place, Let’s B Veg?” asked Father Booty.
“No ghas phoos, no twigs and leaves!” said Uncle Potty firmly. He never ate anything green if he could help it.

it clearly means someting vegetarian, but i'd be grateful if you can explain the literal meaning.

Me to Martin,"I agree that Shera Lyn's suggestion is a good option. But yet, I don't agree in favour of literal translation here."
