Few recipes are always close to the heart. This is my all-time favorite. This recipe was created for one of the retired army personnel, who had worked around the world in his career. In your life sometimes you met with someone who always inspired you. He is the one to whom I am always ready to prepare the food.
At my workplace, a couple was sitting and enjoying lunch. As a courtesy, I asked him how is food? He said it tastes very good, but I am looking for something different for my dinner. During the conversation, he introduced himself, and his favorite ingredient was chicken. He also said “I love to eat potatoes”.
I took the challenge to make him satisfied with my creativity and invited them for dinner.
So this was the story behind the recipe. You can also try them for whom you want to impress with your culinary skills.
