Few years ago I experienced saji in Karachi in a restaurant just opposite of Expo center. It was a memorable dinner for me as my brothers and my mother were all togather. I can’t forget the taste of that sajii and also the gathering of our family. It was so delicious and masala which they sprinkle on it was wonderful. So I decided to make my own version of saji and share with you guys. I hope you will like it.
