It’s a nutritious dish with less ingredients. Best eaten fresh (and not when re-heated). I always suggest all for eating very fresh, rather cooking a lot of food and storing it for days in your freezer. The way you eat fresh will give another level of energy to your life If we can spare time for everything in our life then why are we sacrificing on cooking for ourselves. Make small meals and save your time for cooking.
