I picked up this beautiful book in the Central Library,Panaji, Goa.
The author is Karen Anand. In fact I had typed out a great number of recipes from her book and the laptop crashed!!
Central Library, Panaji, Goa is an amazing place! I have been told that the library is built and maintained on international standards. It is a pleasure to go there for not only the staff is so good but also the books are so beautifully arranged even an idiot will find the bookhe/she needs. The reading room is so very beautiful. Many times I sit in the library and access my pending posts.
As you enter the library you are greeted by a huge mascot of a person resting his/ her face on the palms. The best thing is it is made of
tyres. Different treads are used cleverly to draw your eye to different features.

This is not all there are metal sculptures made out of waste material on display. O by the way the Art and Culture is also in the same building but I have not as yet visited that area. The library has so much of a

Karen Anand

- 4 tblsp chopped coriander
- ½ cup med thick coconut milk
- 2 teaspoon mustard seeds
- 8 curry leaves
- ½ cup milk
- 2 tblsp curd
Garnish:
- ½ cup coriander chopped leaves
Method:
1. Boil corn in just enough water to cover, mixed with salt and sugar for about 5-7 minutes.
2. Remove corncobs from pan and set aside. Reserve water.

constantly.
7. Add corncobs, cover pan and simmer for 5 minutes.
8. Pour in milk and stir until heated thoroughly.
9. Mix in curd. Taste and add more salt if required.
10.Garnish with coriander and serve with rice.
Notes:
· I used sweet corn and made smaller pieces from it instead of the 3 called for.
· The corn cobs were well cooked and the curry was delicious. In fact, the corncobs were juicer than usual I, the boiled corn hater loved it.
· The only change I would like to make is to boil the corn for 1 whistle in the pressure cooker with minimum water as the water though tasty was too much. I was asked to thicken it up a bit. Next time I will use besan to thicken the gravy and if I make it this way Instead of a dal I will love to have it as a soup.
· Use lesser coriander the colour has to be whitish not green.
