Author Notes
This beautiful recipe is a Sunday staple in our house especially in the months of Summer. Some people people suggest that some of the origins of this quintessentially Israeli recipe trace back to India. Without taking chances, I finish my recipe with chopped cilantro and a hint of fresh garam masala. —Rinku Bhattacharya /Spice Chronicles
