MUTABAL
Mutabal, a middle eastern delicacy eaten with pita as a dip, of course we ate it with hot hot rotis and enjoyed it.
So friends another variety for you people. It was my daughter's birthday and she rarely asks for anything special to be cooked. This time I actually coaxed her into letting me know what to cook. She said she wanted the Mutabal which she ate in Turkey where she was for her last birthday! I was a bit thoughtful but then took the help of some sites and made the dish for her. It seemed like a fusion meal with Mutabal and chickpeas made in the Indian style. Here is the recipe. Hope you people enjoy the dish as much as my family did. I came to know later that she was missing Turkey!
