A complete meal

A complete meal

Sizzlers are a hot favourite with people of all ages and tastes. They are basically a combination of one main dish served with a choice of sauces and a large variety of accompaniments, and are a complete meal by themselves.

Sizzlers can be either sweet, sour or of any flavour. The most common sizzlers are the non vegetarian ones — fish, mutton, and chicken, but you can have vegetarian ones as well.

In fact, you can experiment and innovate with sizzlers, and come up with your own special one.
