As kids we used to eat this dish but ours used to have cubed beef added to it. I'm not too much into onions and the cumin I'm not familiar with. I'm not a spicy food person in general. Have you heard of it being prepared this way before, and if so do you have that recipe also? If you could email it to me that would be great. My mother and grandmother have both passed away and unfortunately the recipe went with them. I remember the leftovers were as good if not even better then the day it was prepared. Thank you
