When I Googled this dish (its chicken version to be exact), one of the first things I found was that it is supposed to be for special occasions only, because it is so rich and thick and creamy. I think it’s safe to say that the first time I tried it definitely counts as a very special occasion – it was a 1 month anniversary with my boyfriend. And he made it for me! I loved it straight away and I think a week doesn’t go by now that we don’t make it. So this is his recipe, but I made the dish on the photo myself and he approved it so you can trust my tips and tricks as well. 😉

1 onion, finely chopped
