This recipe is so far the only one I’ve tried when it comes to Brown Rice Flour. The next one I’m trying though is a bread so if that’s a success I’ll enter the recipe onto my blog. These biscuits are nice and nutty and very flavoursome.

We had this when mom came around last night. It is a lovely dish to serve in winter. It’s full of flavour, but not too hot. We prefer hotter curries though, so I added an extra dash of chilli and curry powder, as the recipe recommeded. Luke loves rotis so [...]
