Savoury cakes are very popular in France and usually served as an apero. I made a similar cake a while ago when I’d made an Indian meal for friends. It went down well though I did have to dial down the spices, as the French generally don’t like spicy food.

Can you let me know what is “curd” as I am from Canada and not familiar with it. This recipe sounds fabulous and would fit into our gluten free diet. Appreciate your reply.
