I recall a humorous episode when I was whipping up this meal for friends. Instead of the advised half teaspoon, I mistakenly dumped a cup of salt into the mix! That meal turned out, predictably, as a salt overload. But on the bright side, it gave us a funny story and a hearty laugh. Rest assured, this rendition has been perfected to steer clear of such culinary blunders. Enjoy your meal!
