Notes
- This is fantastic at room temperature, and it gets better as the flavors sit together. I like to make it the night before and then pull it out a few hours before serving so it has time to get rid of the fridge chill.
- I used ½ the oil the original recipe called for. I don't think it needs it and I'd rather keep calories and fat lower.
- The flavors in this are Indian inspired. The original recipe called for fennel as well but I'm not a big fan, so I skip it.
