We must have been thinking the same thing :-) I feel like an expat from everywhere, but its influenced my cooking so much, so I am just grateful for the opportunity to travel and make new friends. <br /><br />@Torwen, I am so sorry for the loss of your mother :-( <br /><br />I make a special effort to record the recipes of my grandmothers (my daughter's great grandmothers) now. I learnt my lesson when my beloved grandfather, who was a wedding chef passed away in 2002. Now that I am older, I regret so much that I never got a chance to record all his amazing recipes... the older generation are a gift to be treasured.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14329905866291793180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1693082713303047231.post-86014705977329537202011-03-22T17:56:25.893-06:002011-03-22T17:56:25.893-06:00mung sprouts and coconuts ... what an unusual comb...mung sprouts and coconuts ... what an unusual combination.

We both took part to 'No Crouton Required' and submitted quite similar curries! It is so funny: I am an expatriate Italian, who does not know a thing about Indian food at all, apart from a few things friends have taught me. <br />I love the little twists in this recipe - every dish with tamarind tastes really special to me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1693082713303047231.post-64988623813369953062011-03-16T15:38:42.248-06:002011-03-16T15:38:42.248-06:00@Ellie, thanks very much.

I just wish it would STOP snowing... its just miserable. <br /><br />@Phil, you can obviously make them unsprouted too, but sprouted does add that little extra bit of prettiness. Plus, you can just soak them and forget about them for a couple of days too. <br /><br />@Bruleeblog, thanks. I am looking forward to Eat Alberta, and meeting all the faces behind the blogs :-)<br /><br />@Choclette, yes, sprouting does make the beans much easier to digest, as a lot of the green shells just float up, and you can skim them off before cooking the beans. It also takes less amount of time to boil them, as they will be a lot more tender.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14329905866291793180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1693082713303047231.post-4735676647366569922011-03-16T14:33:44.408-06:002011-03-16T14:33:44.408-06:00When I can get hold of some moong beans, I'm g...When I can get hold of some moong beans, I'm going to make this. I love pulses, but CT suffers a bit from them although he likes the taste. I think you've hit on the answer - sprouting them first should make them a lot more digestible - your Mamma is a genius.Choclettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00173996730095174268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1693082713303047231.post-86058999936715195622011-03-16T13:14:32.550-06:002011-03-16T13:14:32.550-06:00Just wanted to say welcome to Edmonton!
