"An Indian friend gave this recipe to me, and it makes very interesting finger food for parties, BBQ's, etc--also gluten free, which is great! Adjust the seasonings to taste--it's pretty flexible! Cooking time does not include soaking time."

I'm a resident of the beautiful island to the south of mainland Australia-- Tasmania. I love the peace and greenness of the "Holiday Isle". What a spot to live all the time! A mum to two beautiful girls (a baby and a toddler), I'm also a bit of a country girl, and we live on a few acres that incorparate horses, ducks, chooks, a cat, and who knows what else by now! I'm also a Bible Student, and attend classes and meetings a few times a week. I'm a member of the Christadelphians, which is a Bible based, world wide, community, who are keen to share the Truth of God's word with everyone. I really believe that God's Word has something in it that makes it interesting and relevant for every single person to look at it.
