VEGAN GLUTEN-FREE CANAPE

How are my dear readers doing today?  This is Soma @ CURRY AND SPICE ! Let me know how you want me to serve you? I mean on your plates? Life's a stage, each one of us play specific role, mine is to serve good food on your plates. To pour good music into your ears required me to learn it better, I share some life lessons here, right? You may call it unnecessary "gyan" / blabbering! All of us need a space to unwind, I can't think of a life only eating, sleeping, do household chores, discuss people, promote religious divide. I do visit temples, get peace in such actions, spreading hatred in name of God is not my business. Thats not my mentality! I know maintaining certain image makes you popular! I craved fame, don't know how to get there. You need certain qualities, foremost is to be a good reel maker in present day context. I lack ideas, technical knowhow, both!

I love to write, hours after hours, it de-stresses besides cooking, music. I love watching movies, post surgery I am lacking concentration. My interests involve deep human relationships, thrillers, comedy too! Marriage video kind of movies get me headache. That doesn't mean you would play documentary on Richard Ramirez's dreadful actions around San Francisco on an evening when this coward self is just back from hospital! Small things affect my mental stability, health that you may not even bother, notice! I don't understand the man's logic behind such actions but attribute son's weird self majorly to his father. But this same father today helped me solve a technical issue sitting at KL. I might have wrongly pressed the keyboard unable to type. The moment I called him, he told me whats to be done, I should be lucky enough to finish post! He isn't my husband, he is my problem solver. I dislike his temperament, then who would handle me when I puke on travels, have this problem & that? I think there never had romantic bond between us, my parasitical self found a good host in him! Anyway, I am fond of high achievers. I remain extremely worried about son but never would ask him to compromise his career for me.

Because I am an emotional, hyper sensitive self, I easily get hurt! I just don't get certain behaviour of people, neither am I argumentative. I get aloof, didn't learn to retaliate; better to watch Lust Story time & again to set mood right, hahaha! I am bit of everything, Lust Story, Morning Raga, long walks, top of all food set right my mood!

Outside of Hougang Mall, a food court stall sells two pieces Yong Tau Fong+Chee Cheong Fun bowl, mistakenly added excess of chilli, my tongue burnt. I love chicken dumpling & wonton soups. A click or two of choice add an extra layer of butter to my toast! In between such pleasures, I definitely need humans to complete thy self! Not useless criticism but people's qualities please me! All of us have weaknesses, what's the point taking digs?

I must take pride turning a failed cupcake batter onto superbly tasted ones. I try not to waste food, thats a wrong habit!

How to get a fit body if I eat carbs, sugar regular? Yes, besides talent, I am hooked towards appearances! I don't think there's any pride to be taken of an overweight, obese self! We look bad, as simple as that, all my life I had been obese, thereafter an overweight self, now too I can't be called slim! 

May I name these pleasure bites VEGAN GLUTEN-FREE CANAPE?

Initially, I thought of making dairy-free, vegetarian, gluten-free, vegan fruit sushi, didn't want to work hard. Cristine and I had for dinner! I wanted to add pomegranate, was high priced! Dragonfruit makes it colourful. I used Cristine's fruits-vegetables-vinegar pickle to season fruit salsa, you may use chillies soaked in vinegar for few hours. I had some left over cooked rice in refrigerator, the idea evolved from there. All of us stock coconut milk, sugar at home. You may use your choice of fruits! Such cooking ventures have to go on in my kitchen, my love for writing about this and that too! In this complex world, I have to find out my gateways to a relaxed self, no one would gift me. Because I am sensitive, avoiding coercion is better for me, even offenders need not be lynched, there is law. Anyway, every mall seems arranged for Lion Dance, I enjoyed watching one yesterday!

PROCEDURE :

I used cooked Basmati, not sticky! Hence, I pulsed rice, sugar, coconut milk. I ain't good at measurements; I had to dry rice-mix taken in pan. We get perfect sticky texture.

We would peel fruits, discard seeds, wash, chop small. We would peel onions, wash, chop, take everything in bowl.

Thereafter, we would add vinegar soaked chopped chillies, little sugar, salt if you wish! We would stir, keep at rest for 10 minutes. We would strain water released, make cutlet shape of coconut rice, arrange fruit salsa atop!

Refrigerate before serving, you would love it! You may sprinkle some toasted sesame seeds atop!
