Assalam-alaikam,
love the before and after pics. Thanks for the recipe. I just know it wouldn't taste as good if I made it (except being South Asian, I ususally chuck in a load of chilli to hide if something tastes a bit odd)
Assalamu alaykum
Dearest ukhti Umm Salihah,
thanks for your comment and visit!This is an Egyptian Lentils Soup, I forgot to mention it.
I am not Egyptian myself, just love to cook different dishes. I try and if they come nice, hamdulillah.
Try it you may surprise yourself and yes you can add some chillies.;)
