Rawasache kalwan

Do you miss that lovely smell when your Mom would cook a nice home cooked meal for you after a long day? Or a village with wooden houses framed by palm trees, and amidts all this a lady cooking nice fresh catch from the sea. Does that aroma ever seduce your palate?????? I do miss all that. I would like to share one such recipe which I inherited from my "Dad". Miss you Dad😘
