- What happens if you can not find all ingredients:

I think that it is very easy to find the basic ingredients that is potatoes. onion , carrots and figs. If you do not have the figs you should try to add something similar because it is quite important for the recipe as gives a special taste and juice to the potatoes. If you do not add them , then do not add so much carrot. You might have problem finding some of the herbs. If you do not find something of them like theme or parsley it will be ok, but try to have herbs in your kitchen especially if you are vegetarian! But even if you are not, herbs are very healthy and can offer many different and special options to the food.

The recipe is not difficult to be made even by an amatuer cooker. Some people will not like it very much and some others will love it. The taste is quite special. ANyway most people do like it very much , especially vegetarians! Try to make it at home!
