Dakkous - Flavor Beyond Borders
Dakkous is an Arabic sauce usually used to mix with rice. It is spicy and amazingly red. Once prepared, this sauce can go into the refrigerator and be used as and when required for 2 to 3 days. I have not used any preservatives or local ingredients available fresh in the Indian market. I have used tomato paste instead to give brilliant red color to the sauce.
