A big thanks to my Grandma for teaching me this spectacular recipe! Growing up, my Granny made this all the time! Since then, it has become my comfort food! I love eating this with French toast or any bread works! I have tried adding garlic chilli oil in it and it was divine! I suggest you add it too on every serving. Do it and you can thank me later. Have a blessed day, friends. Enjoy!
