I made this with Bob's Red Mill Gluten-Free 1 to 1 flour blend and it worked perfectly. Because of the gluten free flour, it did take a bit longer to cook as expected. The spices really come through in this recipe. I will definitely be making this again!

The ingredient list seemed to be a bit long until I got to getting this together and it was not at all long. It turned out marvelous and was quite easy to put together.
