Dinner last night was a special treat and my hubby's favourite- Kheema-Pav in other words Minced Meat and Bread. I know what you must be thinking, MEAT and Me! Well thanks to a product name Quorn, we get the meat flavour without the meat. Try it if you are working towards being a vegetarian, and have a craving for the meaty flavour & texture.
This is my hubby's recipe that I am sharing. Thanks Nik for letting me borrow it. :)
