	Gabby June 22 at 9:33 am Oh, this sounds wonderful. It will make a great side dish with some of Ali's meat dishes.

	Avera June 1 at 10:58 pm There are lots of spices in this recipe that are just going to send the flavor over the top. The two that make it most interesting for me are the cumin and the curry. These two spices alone will give this dish an exotic touch.
