This is the most aromatic dish that has ever been cooked in my kitchen. I have cooked it a few times and it was loved by my children. It is easy to cook; just marinate and pressure-cook. It is very versatile; you can eat it with white rice or with various types of noodles. Here, my children ate it with spinach noodles.
