This is awesome in the summer. I enjoyed a bowl of this this afternoon. The only substitute I used was red chilli powder instead of the cayenne powder. This went wonderful with a hot spicy curry and rice. I garnished this with 3 fresh mint leaves and a tbsp. of fresh corriander leaves. Thank you for sharing! -
This was good with our curries and rice last night, and a nice change from our tomato-cucumber dishes we ususally serve. Good with the mint and coriander as Charishma suggested. -
This was really good. I was out of cumin, but it was still delicious. Can't wait to make it again the right way. Thank you.

I used this as a dip with celery, carrots, capsicum & cauliflower. It was a huge hit with the girls on Friday night. Such a refreshing change from our std salsa & so good for you too! Next time I want to use a dollop of sweet chilli sauce instead of the caynne or chilli powder. Yum!

In the words of Tracy Byrd, "I'm from the country & I like it that way"!!
On May 1, 2008 my husband and I started a new adventure. We'll be living in a 37 foot RV while our new home is under construction. Its out in the country on a dead end dirt road with lots of trees. For the next 4 months or so, most meals will be cooked on the BBQ and life will be full of challenges!
We love spending quality time with our friends & family - especially the grandkids!! The photo is 4 generations - my 84 year old mother, myself, my daughter & my youngest granddaughter - taken at the end of 2006.
