Yummmmm! The spices in this recipe are exellent!! I guess I'm the opposite of Charishma because I added extra chilies for even more of a kick. Had these warm, but will try them cold next time... if I can keep myself from eating it long enough :^)

Mushroom lovers enjoy this, but I cant have too spicy food or I'll end up crying at the table. LOL..So, I do tone down the spice, but whenever I make this, it's well enjoyed:)
