I have tried out this dish from the BBC’s – The Incredible Spice Men with little changes. I love this progam to the core, all the recipes are worth trying. Also I have tried apple crumble, stay tuned for the recipe. The dish was awesome and very everyone loved this especially my kids. Fish in Pomegranate sauce – Kids Friendly Recipe.
