I think this has potential to be really good but next time will add either more oats or less stock. The mixture was very wet and even after 1 hour in the oven wasnt firm. I skipped the tamarind and added allspice and they flavours were really good so would go with that again but tweek the consistency. Omni hubby loved it!!
