    Hi, did you change the recipe? There was no onion before and the sequence seems a bit different too

      It’s great to hear from you! I haven’t made any changes to the recipe. Initially there was an error in the instructions where i missed out the onions. If you have any questions or need further clarification, feel free to ask.
