Since you don't care for rosewater, you might try orange blossom water. It
has the same kind of floral character but I personally find it much more
pleasant. It's called for in several early Catalan recipes so it should be
appropriate for this dish.

Also you may be getting icky rosewater. I've had really good subtle
rosewater and really chemical-tasting rosewater.

And I too found your recipe mouth-watering and I'm planning to try it. Thank
you.
