I don’t quite know where to begin…Two months in lockdown, a most surreal month of Ramadan completed, and the prospect of spending Eid mostly at home is looming.
I thought I’d share this quick recipe, in case like me, you have run out of steam having exhausted your creativity in the kitchen over this last month. This simple recipe, with a little forward planning, never fails to impress at the dinner table. Serve it hot and sizzling, just out of the grill with home made raita or green chutney and naan naan to accompany your other Eid favourites.
