These are sound very good and I have made something very similar with the pancetta and the Italian herbs and they are delicious. So, you get five forks from me - thank you!

Just curious, what Indian spices would you use here, if not subbing in the Italian? I would love to try that version as well. Thanks again. ~ Vickie


To make them Indian, I would add, 1 tbs of ground Cumin powder, 1 tbs of Ground Coriander powder, 1/4 Tbs of Tumeric, 1/2 Tbs of Red Chilli powder and 1 tea spoon of Garam Masala. They are wonderful this way as well.


Love it.....:)


These really DO sound good, and thanks, Vickie, for asking for the Indian spice mix :) Yet another great post, with thanks, UK2NYC :) Keep them coming....
