Small info about ingredients:
What are Jaifal and Jawitri?
Answer: Nutmeg and mace (Jaiphal and Javitri) - is the seed of the evergreen tree. Mace is the fleshy lattice, covering the nutmeg (hard nut), which is golden brown in colour. Nutmeg has a more robust flavour than mace, but they are otherwise very similar.
They have a nutty, warm, and slightly sweet flavour. Nutmeg is used to add sweet and savoury flavour to dishes such as pies, custards, puddings, cakes, soufflés, vegetables, egg dishes, lamb, fish, and beverages. Like nutmeg, mace is a sweet and flavorful spice, which can be substituted for nutmeg or cinnamon to complement a variety of foods. Mace is also used in sauces for fish and pickle chutneys.
