    This made a nice couple of dinners for two. Even better the second night. I started with unroasted ground Indian coriander, and we toasted the grains of paradise as directed before grinding with a mortar and pestle. And we added partially mashed garbanzos for a tasty and fiber-rich addition on the second night.
