Recipe
Preparation
Mix together the corn, egg, curry paste, rice flour, soy sauce and 1
teaspoon salt. Shape the mixture with your hands to form circular
cakes about 1 inch in diameter.
Dip the cakes in the wheat flour and then fry immediately in the very
hot oil. (Do not fry more than 6 to 8 cakes at a time or they will
not cook properly.)
To make the sauce, bring to a boil the vinegar, water sugar, salt and
chili. Let it cool.
Pound the peanuts and add to the cooled mixture. Lastly, add the
cucumber.

NOTE: These little guys are tasty! Scoop up some of the sauce on
each one and wolf 'em down. I've used plain curry powder instead of
the yellow curry paste with good results, but here's the recipe for
the paste if you want to go to the effort:
Place the cumin and coriander seeds in a pan without adding any oil.
Dry fry them, stirring, over medium heat for 1 to 2 minutes until
they are slightly browned, and give off a roasted aroma.
Coarsely chop the chilies and soak in water for 10 minutes. Drain.
Pound all the ingredients together to produce a fine paste which goes
well with beef and pork.
From the same book. You can work out your frustrations pounding the
spice mix in a mortar and pestle or you can use a food processor if
you're feeling particularly harmonious... Make a lot of the paste
and save it for use in other curries.

Food Tips of the Week
Advice on losing weight
Make sure that you drink enough fluids. Sometimes at some stage in a hectic work day, you feel you need food when in truth you may need a refreshing glass of water or cranberry juice. The feelings of hunger and thirst are somewhat similar, but one of them ends in weight increase and the other one leads to no damage.
Some low carb diet pointers:
* Make low carb breadcrumbs for deep fried or oven baked foods.
While you can sometimes buy reduced carb breadcrumbs, you can make them yourself by using reduced carbohydrate bread. Simply toast the reduced carbohydrate bread in the oven on a sheet of cookie paper. When it is well browned, grind it in your blender. Store in an airtight jar or container.
The brassica family, Wonder foods that help with Your diet
(eg. Cauliflower, Boiled potatoes, Mizuna and Radishes)
Members of the brassica family are packed with vitamins (eg.folate and vit c), minerals (selenium and potassium, for example), isothiocyanates, antioxidents and indole-3-carbinol.
In addition to their numerous healthy effects, a few of these nutrients are thought to help reduce the cancer risk.
