Tamarind – Makahm

Tamarind – MakahmThe reddish brown, curved seed pods of a lovely tropical tree hold several large seeds encased by moist, sticky, dark brown flesh that varies from being very sweet to very sour.

The large lacy-leaf trees are common in the tropics the world over. The tamarind pod is oblong and curved in shape and looks much like the seed pod of many large flowering trees. When young, the pods are green and fleshy. As they ripen, they turn reddish brown and become brittle on the outside; inside, the rich, dark brown flesh of the fruit is moist and sticky, enveloping a row of bean-like seeds.

Issue Kosher

I tackle the Torah, Haftarah and Brit Chadasha Portion regarding the subject of Kashrut, a Kosher diet.

Beware of unclean food

two days ago, i spoke to 2 Koreans who runs Korean supermarkets in Ampang and found out that almost all of the seasonings in Korean instant noodles and some canned foods contain pork and/or seafood extracts. even some of the packaging carry English descriptions but doesn't translate all the ingredients mentioned in Korean.

also, Kim chi has variety of recipes and vary among restaurants and families. some of them will put fish sauce to aid fermentation, some of them fermented shrimp sauce (cincaluk), so i started to do my own kim chi since last year.

hope this brings you awareness to avoid eating unclean food unknowingly.
