My husband and I had this for dinner tonight, and we both enjoyed it very much!! The smell was very unique and we didn't know what to expect, but were very pleased by the blend of flavors provided by the spices (the amounts are perfect as suggested), and found it to be very filling as well. Since we love having bean dishes as our main source of protein in dinners, this will definitely be one we make again. What a great use of the Adzuki!
