I found your site through PetitChef. We made this tonight and absolutely love it. You don't say where to add the poppy seeds or saffron so we added the seeds to the paste and the saffron to the sauce.

You have 2 new Australian fans that can't wait to try more of your recipes!

Hello Rebecca, thanks a lot for trying out, i'm so happy that u loved it.

I had mentioned that the following items( Cashew nuts, poppy seeds and saffron strands with milk) has to be ground together, now i have highlighted that part.

The method you have done is also good! Henceforth i will make sure that the steps are given clearly:)
