It is a Pakistani dish that every Pakistani family is familiar with when they gather for a healthy everyday proper meal. My sister helped me in comprehending this dish’s recipe with tasting the flavours throughout our cooking. We cooked it together. It comes out 2x as mouth watering as we intended to make it taste. Curries are a fav to Pakistanis as with the right amount of ingredients it is beneficial for one’s health as well.
