This recipe is an inspiration from my favorite chef Sanjeev kapoor's signature recipe Shaam Savera. One day I was surfing through the net and got to find this fascinating recipe. I tried making original version also which was a super tasty dish. Today I am experimenting with the same recipe but different ingredient to give it a similar look and feel. Taste is off-course different. Hope you enjoy both the versions. I am using Italian herbs for seasoning. Its contrasting color, flavor and taste is appealing to all the senses.
