"Prince Sweet Basil Leaves" as I have been cooking a lot of dishes using this prince charming... hahaha.... another recipe on sweet basil leaves, this time is "Basil Chicken Cutlets". Cutlets are our all time favorite, especially those cutlets that sell in the "Mamak" (Indian Muslim) restaurant. Their cutlets are so flavouring and appertizing especially when you eat with their variety of curries dishes. May be I shall search some similar recipes and add in the sweet basil leaves!

Hehehe... the song is perfect :)

I think my mom has tried to plan the western basil in her roof garden but it didn't grow at all (maybe coz' the weather) but the daun kemangi (indonesian basil leaves) has grown a lot.
