Comments

This dish is very easy to prepare and quite economical. It is salty/sweet and allows many variations according to your tastes. You can be generous with herbs and spices if you like dishes with strong flavors. Some add star anise (anise-flavored), fresh mint when serving. Others prefer basmati rice than white rice etc. Enjoy your meal.
