Thanks for posting all you recipes, I will have a closer look in the days to come. I am looking into foods from around the world and a recipe for Basbaad or Basbas (not sure which is right) came up on tv, I have seen a few recipes for the sauce online but none for what you use it for. Any suggestions?
