The funny thing is that I've seen that dish *here* at the chow hall in Iraq.
Thursday nights here are "Indian Night" for dinner. The cooks are from the
Indian subcontinent (mostly India and Bangladesh), so they take extra care
to show what they can do. The version they serve also has the crisp top.
