Vegetables in coconut milk

Let's return to our Thai atmosphere - and, in my case, memories.
My basic source of inspiration for this recipe is here, but also my brain and taste that remember very well the tasty food I had in Thailand not so long time ago.
The maximum time for preparing is of approximately 1h.30 - depending of the time of boiling the vegetables. This is a dish for three persons.
Beforehand, you need to shop the following vegetables:
carrots - 7, to be boiled and then sliced
potatoes - 15, medium seize, boiled and then sliced
scallion - 7 finely chopped
garden beans (see the previous post) - 10, finely chopped
tomatoes - 5, sliced
ginger - 2-3 finely sliced
dill - one bunch, finely chopped
After the carrots and potatoes are ready, add the whole group of ingredients in a pan - 150 C heated - , where you add some canola oil - 100 g.

After maximum 15 minutes, you add 1 l. of coconut milk, add some salt - if do you have with some herbs, even better - and mix over and over again. If you have some saffron too, even better, and you will obtain a wonderful light yellow colour. Just the right rainbow for making you even hungrier and learn you to love for ever the Thai food. As I do.
Bon appetit!

Successful latkes

Hanukkah is far away and I am missing a lot the warm atmosphere and the togetherness. This year, I was the fairy who surprised the guests and the family with various wonderful and tasty combinations. I was so proud of myself, but too busy to make pictures of my accomplishments. 
The role of the queen was, by far, represented by the latkes. 

I used some traditional recipes, as my newly experiences senses and tastes. 
The ingredients, for 17 latkes:
4-5 potatoes peeled and grated after
1 big onion - grated
3/4 cup - canola oil
3 scrambled eggs
salt, on taste

Mix the potatoes, onion, eggs and salt together. The size of your pist, make a little boulette and throw in the pan. Heat the oil in the pan at 250.  
You have to be careful for not burning them and to take them from the pan before turning into black holes - and prompting the fire alarm to cry (as it was in our case). 
The life span of this first experiment: maybe three full hours.
