A fun change. It was very easy to prepare. Had good favor. I think I will add the crushed chili flakes next time. I also will half the oil next time, I found the dish a little heavy. We are not use to eating foods prepared in oil. But am over all pleased and will for sure make again. Thanks for sharing your recipe :)
