It is really awesome. I strongly recommend this dish if you like spicy, sour food you can't give it a miss. It is tangy, spicy and fragrance, this makes you drooling for more and more rice to eat along. So if you gain weight please do not put into my account. lol. It is so easy to prepare give it a try.
