I am a big fan of all your recipes alia, but I have got to say these letils were delicious! Thanks again for always sharing your creations, they are used quite often at my house!
I messed up (added too much water, so I ended up with lentil soup), and yet it was still fabulous! Thanks Alia!
This recipe I know is very very easy by watching the video, however, I have to write the recipe down on paper to go step by step in my kitchen tonight and I didn't see where it says to add water in the ingredients and diced tomato but all in all I love it so very much! I love everything u cook with all my heart. U are such a blessing. Alhamdulilah
