'Hing' or 'Asadoetida' plays a vital role within the flavor and also the freshly ground fennel powder and dry ginger root powder give a unique flavor into it.We loved it a lot which i have prepared it on two consecutive weekends.It might be ideal for everyone it with Saffron grain or mild flavored Pulaos.Following a small search on the internet to look into minute information on the recipe,I discovered this recipe is associated with Kashmiri Pandit Cuisine,I'm not entering further depth of detailing the cuisine now.
