The first occasion when I chose to make an "untraditional" bastila I decided to include lemon zing and use pistachios rather than the almonds, the outcome tasted so great! It brought the conventional bastila to an unheard of level, I adored it. All things considered, everybody did!

The formula I am imparting to you today is the last form of my advanced bastila. On head of changing the fixings, I likewise attempted to figure out how to make the formula a lot quicker in light of the fact that time and comfort matter.

I generally purchase cook chicken or turkey to make this formula yet I am certain a significant number of you will wind up with a great deal of turkey or chicken extra and this dish as I would see  it is the most ideal approach to make the best out of your poultry extras. I decided to make it with puff baked good rather than

filo in light of the fact that filo is more sensitive and requires more consideration and time. What's more, truly, puff cake tastes similarly as great.
