Tastes very good...but the roulade dough was commented by several people to be too spongy. I would definitely make again, but I think I may use less eggs, or perhaps fold in fewer egg whites. Love the idea though, just what I was looking for.

Have made this a few times now and always a big hit. I add the curry powder but it doesn't make it too spicy, just even tastier. And one of the best things about it is that you can make it the day before. I'm always on the look-out for recipes that I can prepare ahead!
