Asalaam-o-ALaikum Amna,
I had to sign up 2 GR to let you know that this is a FANTASTIC recipe!!!
my dad loved this, and it was a hit!
I did make a few changes and instead of garlic sauce I put in some yoghurt, coz daddy doesn't like the garlic taste in his mouth before Isha.
But really, it was fab....
Thankx a lot for sharing...
