In the second line of the first paragraph, I changed "garri" to "Garri" because it is a noun. In the second paragraph, I modified the first sentence for more clarity. In the third paragraph, I change "it" to "It" because it begins the sentence. Under the subheading "Preparation," I changed "garri" to "Garri." Then I added a comma in the second sentence. Under "Serving" I removed an entire paragraph because it was repeated. |
