Our trip to Bintan was full of fun..a lovely beach side resort in Indonesia....lush green trees ...blue waters and complimentary massage...what else could I ask for :)
Much to my surprise ...I found a good variety of vegetarian dishes at the buffet which is a luxury in this part of the world...I thought I would have to survive on bread and fruits...
Thai food is very tasty ..its got the right mix of spice and tangy taste a sure treat to my taste buds...... We had pinepapple rice , raw mango salad ...healthy sprouts salad and noodles... The dish I loved best was the green gravy /sauce...From my observation I saw they use peanuts , coconut , spinach , sprouts , not to mention the green and red chilli padi in PLENTY !!
I have added and omitted vegetables as per my liking ...You could like we do in pav bhaji or aviyal add the vegs of your choice...
Now for the recipe
For the vegs take a cup of chopped carrots, beans , capsicum , potato, peas
Boil and strain the water. Set aside the vegs.
For thr gravy
Coriander leaves 1 cup
Green chilli 3-4
Garlic 2 big pods
Coconut 1 tbspn.. You could use the coconut milk but I prefer the coconut to be ground well .
Peppercorn 1/2 tspn
Crushed peanuts 1/2 a cup
Grind the ingredients of gravy (expect the peanuts)to a fine paste with little stock saved from boiling the vegs
Heat Oil abt 1 tbspn and add the paste. Saute well on medium flame. Stir to ensure it does not stick and burn.
After about 2 mins toss in the vegs and 2 tbspn of stock . Add salt and cook for 3 minutes.
Remove from stove. Before you serve you can add the crushed peanuts...
Enjoy :)
