This recipe is an adaption from HerWorld Cookbook ,one of which has been in my collection for some years now. I have prepared this dish a various number of time and proved successful and tasty.As usual I have added some ingredients to make it more a malaysian flavour and have changed slightly on the measurements.Sharing this recipe with all of you.
