.SK 1
First make the seasoning powder (see notes): First take the 10-15 red
chillies, thania seeds, (I am sorry that all names are Indian, you can
probably get these in any Indian grocery store) and fry them in a pan with
very little oil. Add some Asfotedia for aroma.
.SK 2
Put into a blender and add the channa dal. Grind them coarsely, remember the
channa dal should not be in whole pieces). Keep this aside for garnishing.
.SK 3
Cook white rice in a cooker, add less water than actually written in the
instructions (about
.AB "6 cups)." "1 1/3 l."
I prefer Adolphus brand Long Grain white rice.
.SK 4
In a frying pan put about
.AB "2 Tbls" "30 ml"
of vegetable oil and heat it. Add some mustard seeds and let them burst, then
add a little turmeric powder. To this add 1 tsp of channa dal and urad dal
and fry till golden yellow. Add some finely split red chillies and green
chillies as required. Then add in the grated coconut and stir for about 10
secs. Then add the rice to this mixture away from the fire and mix thoroughly.
Add salt to taste. Add 2 tsp of seasoning mixture to the rice and stir. If
you could lay your hands on some coconut oil add a teaspoonful for aroma.
Garnish with some freshly cut celantro leaves and some bay leaves.
.SH 5
This is ready to be served with chips or pickle as side dish. Or you can make
come chatni by grinding finely some coconut with green chillies and celantro
with water for consistency. Add salt to taste.
.NX
Add 1 tsp of chilli powder when frying the items if you could not make the
seasoning powder.
.PP
Reduce the number of chillies used if you want it to be less hot.
.PP
Reduce the amount of oil initially while frying if you want it less fattening.

I got this one from a local newspaper. You might be able to find the bai toey
leaves in an oriental grocery store. I've made this once, and it was very
good.
.IH
.IG "2 cups" "glutinous black rice" "400 g"

.IG "1/8 tsp" "salt"
.IG "2" "dried bai toey (pandanus) leaves"
.PH
.SK 1
Wash and drain the rice. In a medium-sized pot, uncovered, bring the rice and
water to a boil over high heat, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat to low,
cover and simmer for 30 minutes, or until the rice is soft. Let the rice cool.
.SK 2
In a saucepan, cook the coconut milk, sugar, salt, and bai toey leaves,
uncovered, over low heat for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
.SK 3
Discard the leaves. Scoop spoonfuls of rice into individual serving dishes,
then pour the coconut mixture on top. Serve at room temperature.
.NX
If you do not eat all this dessert at one meal, you can refrigerate the rice
and coconut mixture separately, then bring back to room temperature by warming
at 100 percent power for 1 minute in a microwave oven. The coconut mixture
will separate during refrigeration, so stir with a fork until smooth.

.RZ "NEW YORK-STYLE CHEESECAKE"
This is a pretty complex recipe, but is worth the effort. The result is a
rich and creamy (provided you used Philly brand!!!) cake that will stand up to
any fruit sauce you may spoon over it, and tastes even better naked (which is
the only way I will eat it). I stole this recipe from some cookbook years
ago, but I am sure the recipe has changed over the years.
