As I shared in my post on Chat Masala (the spice mix that now graces our table at literally every meal), sometimes kitchen “mistakes” turn out to be a great thing after all.

Now, sometimes they don’t — like the time when I baked a cake with my elementary school friend and it ended up being used as a frisbee.  No kidding.

I had a bunch of white beans that I’d cooked so we could make this bean fudge recipe and I thought I’d try to make something savory with the rest.

The recipe that I tried was supposed to turn out to taste like guacamole, but believe me — it didn’t.

So I fussed with it a bit and ended up with this new great tasting recipe. In fact, I recommend you make a double batch, since you’ll wish you had if you didn’t.
