Very nice. I used 3 garlic cloves instead of 5-6 and used 3 small chillies to make the dish milder for the little ones. The dish had plenty of flavour and was just spicy enough with the 3 small chillies. If I was cooking just for adults I would probably add another chilli. We served it in lettuce cups. I will definitely cook this again - probably next week if my family has a say in it!

Thanks for clicking on my name and finding out more about myself. I stumbled upon 'zaar by chance, and I have been hooked ever since. It is just so much easier surfing online for a recipe then flipping through a zillion cookbooks. I am a big fan of healthy meal, and i love to use heaps of garlic in my food. Guess it is the asian blood in me. :) And I am a real sweet tooth, and I'm constantly on a lookout for cake and biscuit recipes.
Have a look at the recipes i have posted, and tell me what you think. Thanks!
