This delightful savory tart is gluten free and flavored with the right spices that will bridge your western and eastern taste buds. The aromatic Indian spices along with the Italian flare adds a depth of taste that you will enjoy for many seasons. I enjoy the taste of goat cheese, though it has lactose like cows’ milk, during the fermentation process this cheese undergoes a change that deems it more digestible. My philosophy is simple, with a little variation and research you can enjoy dishes without compromising taste and health. From my kitchen to yours, I wish that you always keep your health as your priority and live long and strong!
