I made this as a part of our lunch this afternoon and we enjoyed it chilled. I loved it! I omitted the raisins. I had some of it all by itself and then added some cooked white rice and a little yogurt, mixed it all, and had it as the main course too! My mom prefers not to have walnuts in it, and my dad, suggested to reduce the quantity of orange juice to 1/4 cup. The funny expression on his face when he had the first spoon made me feel like I had served it to a nasty little boy. LOL. Dad is very honest with his reviews to all that I try:) Personally, I love it as it is.
