Cooking advice

Oven Tips : Close the oven door gently - slamming forces out the hot air.

One of the best elements of travelling is sampling local delicacies, so please don't order a burger and chips when you are in India - not only is the meat likely to be of a poor quality (sometimes so poor that it will make you sick), but you are turning down some of the most wonderful food in the world - and possibly offending your hosts.

Making your own lunch instead of buying from a sandwich shop saves on packaging, and could also save you approx £4 a day or £1,000 per year!

Ingredients And Procedures

3 cn -TO

4 cn Coconut milk

--(the unsweetened kind) 3 tb Chopped scallions

1 ts -TO

3 ts Lemon grass

Cilantro (pref. fresh) * Tofu - cubed into smallish pieces Chicken - also cubed to bite size. Mushrooms 1 Carrot; grated

Juice from (8?) limes - I can never put in enough Serrano chillies -OR- other hot chili pepper, - preferably fresh, - but powdered will do) 1 ts Galanga powder

* (I sometimes leave this out. Niels says that's defeating the whole point, but I think it still comes out great) Instructions: ============= Heat the coconut milk in a pot. Add everything else. As the lemon grass is inedible, put it in a tea ball and immerse the ball in the soup so you can retrieve it later. Cook until the chicken is done and the soup is hot (30 minutes?). Taste to see if it needs more limes (it always does) or more hot peppers (it's better to start mild and build up to the desired level of spicyness).
