Curry Leaf Ghee

Ghee is a versatile staple to have around the kitchen. It gets accolades as one of the healthy fats, and it has a very high smoke point. To make ghee you are removing all the water and milk solids from butter, making it is shelf stable so refrigeration isn’t necessary. Beyond the practical—it’s incredibly delicious! The delightful buttery crisp it adds to cooked foods feels like a guilty pleasure. Roasted potatoes with ghee are crispier, popcorn with ghee doesn’t get soggy and wait, it gets even better—ghee is an awesome vehicle for spices!

Sri Lankan Banh Mi

Who doesn't love a great sandwich! We are all fans of banh mi sandwiches, and loved this recipe from Andrea Nguyen's The Banh Mi Handbook: Recipes for Crazy-Delicious Vietnamese Sandwiches. We have tried many different types of banh mi, and loved this one made with a Sri Lankan Curry.From the author: "When Viet people eat curry with baguette, they typically dip the bread into the spiced coconut-scented sauce. San Francisco chef Alex Ong sent me his recipe for this bewitching curry (the name comes from the dark-colored spice blend), insisting that it would be perfect stuffed inside a baguette for banh mi. He was right, but to avoid a soggy sandwich, I hand shredded the cooked chicken and recooked it in the sauce, allowing it to fry in the residual oil and become encrusted with the seasonings. It became like an Indonesian rendang or, as my husband put it, a curried chicken carnitas. It’s fantastic."
