Re: Indian cottage cheese/

[Guest guest]

Well, I didn't find it under " eggs " or " breakfasts " in the archives, so I just

did a search of

the messages and it came up. I'm wondering whether I should use crumbled

fat-free feta

cheese in place of the large curd cottage cheese I got. The search not only

served up your

original recipe, but also all the discussion of it, and it seems that the real

" parsi " is drier

than American cottage cheeses, and the fat-free feta (if not regular feta) is

pretty dry,

though it's Greek, not American. (Also, FYI and parenthetically, there's a

sheep's milk feta

that's sold at Whole Foods that is really fantastic! While I was " being bad "

during the

Christmas holidays, I got some and devoured it in one sitting.) (Maybe that's

why my jeans

are tight now.)

Question: I had thought that " curry " referred to a combination of Indian spices,

which,

when mingled together produced that flavor we know of as " curry, " such as a

mixture, of,

say, cumin, coriander, turmeric, chili, cayenne, and paprika, for example. And

that there

were all different kinds of curries. So, what is a CURRY LEAF?????? Maybe I'm

wrong. Is

there a particular spice, just, in and of itself, that is called " a curry? "

Anne; You'll find the recipe in our files. Look under Vegetarian, I think.

Donna

Go back to the archives -- it's in there. I think if you do a search on

" parsi " you'll find it pretty quick.

>>I had thought that " curry " referred to a combination of Indian spices<<

According to the " How to Cook Everything " cookbook - curry is a combination of

nutmeg, peppercorns, cloves, cardamom, cinnamon, fennel, fenugreek seeds, cumin,

coriander, ginger and turmeric. Another recipe just combines peppercorns,

cumin, coriander, ginger and turmeric. I have never heard of a " curry leaf " .
