About the recipe:

This recipe is my own version which I kept simple but flavourful. I omitted the usual Indian spices used in this dish because they are not easily available in some of the countries.  Also, some could find the aroma of those spices is too overwhelming.  If you have access to authentic Indian spices feel free to add them in very small amounts  an exotic version of this dish.
