Like another reviewer, I found this recipe to be quite grainy. I think it's the two teaspoons of tumeric. That's a lot of tumeric. I'm not really sure WHAT made it grainy but that's my thoughts on it. It wasn't *bad* but it wasn't particularly good. It's the first thing in over year that my boyfriend said "you don't have to make this again."Reply
