SO HOW'D IT GO?
;)b These were very yummy! :)>>> Thanks for sharing!
This was very simple to make and turned out well with a few small mods. I definitely used the onions and turmeric. I thought it strange that those would be optional???
I was low on turmeric and thought it might be bland, so I added a couple pinches of curry powder and some garam masala. I didn't add the whole amount of cayenne...just a couple of healthy shakes. Overall, I liked this and will definitely be making it again.
