This is a dish cooked only in clay pot and one
pot cooking,
The grilling or roasting part is also done in the
clay pot.
This recipe is purely my own find,it just took its
course while I was preparing lunch for Easter.
After the preparation,I added scrambled eggs to
garnish.You can add fried egg pieces or boiled
egg pieces if you prefer.
