The staff at the FH Canada office gave this recipe a try - not that we didn't trust it, but we had to put our tastebuds where our mouths were! (oh, wait, naturally!) - and it was fantastic! Makes for a yummy meal. With just a simple visit to a local imports store for perhaps the cardamoms, the hardest part will be refraining from going back for thirds!
