    I have made these twice now, they are lovely, done the usual garlic and coriander, and frozen some and used them, they’re great, I forgot to eat them with my curry one evening, so I used them with soup for my lunch the next day, a good alternative to bread or not having anything. 🙂

    I know those comments were from ages ago but I actually tried these with fat free fromage frais tonight, they were soooo good. I think I actually preferred then to when I used yogurt.

    Hopefully this helps anyone wondering the same thing in the future ?
