I LOVE this recipe, Supriya! I did use fresh ginger, finely minced, rather than ginger powder (it seemed logical), but this is a spot-on recipe, and extremely easy as written - and I am WAY over 2 years old. An absolute favorite - thanks so much for sharing. best regards - Amos1 replyI've cooked/tasted this recipe!
