I don't have a jelly mould that can go in the oven, so after step 5, I simply mixed all the ingredients together and put them in a covered casserole dish in the oven for 10 minutes. I used baby spinach leaves (one of my staple ingredients) and 1 sweet red pepper instead of the chilie pepper (personal taste preference), and I added 4 cloves of chopped garlic to the onion. The cumin gave this a delicious aroma and flavour. An easy to make dish which we all enjoyed.

Hi. I am currently residing in Australia.. I have recently moved from Dallas,Tx. I do miss the States but I am getting used to life Down Under. My all time favorite cookbook is that of my mother's she has the most fantastic traditional Indian recipes...
If I had a month off i'd probably sleep most of the time since sleep is what i lack.it's not that i'm bogged down with work and things to do...I just can't sleep.
Once i get enuf of sleep i'd go explore places i've always wanted to go to...and learn their cuisine.
