Thank you for this excellent recipe. Turned out tobe a very balanced flavour was nit heavy as is often expected of such cuisine. Request you to correct the spelling of “hole” to “whole” in the process.
I tried this recipe today and it turned out fine. I always use chicken breast, perhaps that is why I do not get the same taste as restaurant but overall, I liked it. Thank You.
