Made this yesterday as a demonstration food at a cooking party. It went over well, and was simple to make. A few people didn't care for the consistency but we used more coconut in ours. We served it with chicken curry and various salsas. Fun to give it a try and there are a lot of variations that can be done. Thanks for posting this basic recipe, we'll use it again!
