Notes
The original recipe uses dried loomi powder in the sauce prepared. I used one loomi crushed. You can add 1 tsp loomi powder if available.
This dish is dry. Some recipes use tomato. If using, then chop one tomato into small peices and add along with the shredded shark. Cook till smashed and done.
