Indian Green Chicken Korma Recipe only This is a very unknown recipe in the western world and when I fist read about in a book by  Camellia Panjabi when working in Bangkok I had to cook it. Well I was addicted and cook this often now. It is an Indian Muslim dish which is called a 'rizzala curry' and originates from only two cities in India, Calcutta and Bhopal and it seems to only be cooked in the homes of Muslim aristocracy.

Laotian Pork Sausage Recipe only This Laotian pork sausage is a famous street food all over Thailand, but it must be said that like so many great dishes do originate from the Northeast of Thailand. Often not given credit for the simple, fresh locally found ingredients off the land. Most of the famous Thai dishes come from the Royal Court through the ages and there  is so much fusion from India, China, Malay, and early Europe. This is a true local dish from the Northeast. I lived in Bangkok for many years and this was truly on of my favorite street foods. I walked about 1 KM to go to this lady that sold this snack in Ekamai, Soi 10.
