This is an outstanding recipe and everything is in proportion. Also garlic enhances the taste. I wanted to make this recipe for a long time and so I specially prepared nylon Khaman and then prepared Amiri Khaman out of it. I prepared it for the breakfast and everyone liked it. It is a must try recipe.

Can this be made in advance and frozen? Sev and pomegranate would be added at time of serving.
