Tips:

• Chilly-sauce, tortillas and fried beans are good accompaniments for this recipe.
• Butter can also be used instead of olive oil.
• If you don’t want that sweet bits of raisins, avoid it.

For chilly-sauce the ingredients and method are as follows:

• Tomato: 1
• Salt: 1/2 tsp.
• Jalapeno pepper: 1

Method:

Blend the three ingredients until they become a smooth pasty mix.

*You can interchange the quantity of pepper and tomato as per taste. More of tomato is for a milder taste whereas more pepper adds more heat to the taste.
