2 tsp of Savourous organic garlic powder

1 tsp. of savourous organic ginger powder

2 tsp. of Savourous organic onion powder

    This is a unique recipe. What is the texture like? Is it like a polenta cake? I’m interested in trying this, maybe I’ll whip up a batch this weekend.

      I am not sure if you are familiar with tamale, but it has the same texture.

    What i don’t understood is if truth be told how you are now
    not actually a lot more neatly-favored than you might be right now.
    You’re very intelligent. You already know thus considerably in relation to
    this matter, made me in my opinion imagine it from numerous varied angles.

    Its like women and men are not involved except it is something to accomplish
    with Woman gaga! Your own stuffs nice. At all times care for
    it up!
