I really loved this dish. It is what I would term 'comfort food'. Due to my personal preference, I omitted the celery and added more avocado. The broccoli adds a lovely dimension to this dish. I thought the amount of cream called for would be a little too rich so I substituted 1/2 cup of the cream with whole milk - the result was pleasantly creamy enough. The sauce also looked too thin to me so I added some cornflour paste at the end to thicken. Next time I will use 3 Tbsp of flour instead of 2 - as there will definitely be a next time!! Lovely - thank you!

Hi Everybody! Thanks for stopping by in my little niche of the mighty Zaar world. Here is a quick link to the beauty recipes I've posted (highest rated so far):http://www.recipezaar.com/r/chef=6357/253/451/18/ls=h A few things I've done:- 1. Worked part time as a Telemarketer in Oman in the Crowne Plaza Hotel. 2. Worked as a Certified Professional Tarotist (Tarot Card Reader) and done accurate predicitions for many people from different parts of the world, most memorable of which is the reading I did for my college Law lecturer and it came true. 3. Written nearly 1000 poems several of which have been published in leading newspapers, ezines and magazines both in Oman and India. 4. Worked as a Moderator on www.allpoetry.com - my BEST and FAVOURITE site on the internet. My other interests include: Numerology, Vaastu Shastra, Feng Shui, Face Reading, Reiki and Astrology! I am really very keen on getting well-versed with metaphysical sciences such as Astrology, I-Ching, Feng Shui, Runes, Enneagram, Kabbalah and many more. I love researching on the mythology of ancient Goddesses and then condensing my research into poems. In the mood to gift me something? Here's what I'd love - A Nissan 350Z {my dream car}
