I made this last night. Let's see if I can remember how I did this. The recipe is from a cookbook called "Real Thai" by I think Nancie McDermott.
I highly recommend her cookbooks. I only hope I've got her name right. You need to whiz the following things in the food processor to make green curry paste.
* about 3 stalks of lemongrass * rind from one lime * 1/2 cup of green chiles (Thai chiles, serranos, or jalapenos) * handful of cilantro -- you can add some basil and/or mint, too * teaspoon ground coriander * 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin * teaspoon salt * half teaspoon freshly ground black pepper * about 4 cloves garlic minced * about a tablespoon of fresh galangal or fresh ginger, minced * couple of large shallots, minced (or 1/4 onion if you don't have shallots) * Then you will need one 14-oz can of coconut milk. Pour half the coconut milk into a large pot (like a soup pot). Heat it to a low simmer.
Then put in about 3 tablespoons of the curry paste. Stir it in, and let simmer for ... more.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
