I made half the recipe since DH was the only one eating it. He enjoyed this for his iftar. Made for Ramadan Tag

For me this was just the right amount of spice. It was enough for my lips to have a bit of a tingle but not to blow my head off. I skipped the oil and used a fat free cooking spray to soften the onions but other than that stuck to everything as written and enjoyed it a lot. Made for ZWT4.

This is an excellent simple dish, good hot with rice, or room temp. I loved all the parsley--fresh flat leaf from the garden. Thanks, Julie!
