Very tasty recipe that I tried on a Sunday afternoon. I have a small kitchen, so it took me over 3 hours to make everything, but I put it in some phillo dough and they taste great. I also couldn't find garam masala anywhere, so I just mixed some ground cumin powder with cinnamon and carraway seeds to make a full teaspoon as a substitute.
