Sheela’s Burmese Delight

Difficulty: Difficult Prep Time: 15 Mins Cook Time: 30 Mins Total Time: 45 Mins

Here is another Burmese recipe that is liked by everyone in our family. When we visit India we always request my husband’s masi to make this. Since this is the only place where I have eaten this and she really is not sure where she got this recipe from, I am naming it after her. This is a very interesting dish, bursting with all kinds of flavors sweet, sour, tangy etc. As it is true with Burmese food, the flavor comes out with all the mixing by the person who is eating it and that is the reason every plate tastes different. The dish is not that difficult but it does require a lot of different steps.
