which also contains information about her new novel *The Girl*.
About The Girl: "On a gloomy December evening, in a sleepy
village in north Goa, it's time for yet another funeral. The Girl
is dead and no one in Azul -- better known as the Village of the
Dead -- is surprised. But two men who knew and loved her are
achingly curious to discover what made her give up her life to
the sea. As they turn the pages of her diary, a story unravels
-- of loneliness and abandonment, of memories branded so deep
that they return to haunt the soul, and of hope so powerful that
it negates reality and opens the doors to a future that is never
to be. Details from [EMAIL PROTECTED]

CULINARY CORNER Special from Daisy Rodrigues [EMAIL PROTECTED]
--------------------------------------------------------------
Bangladesh, on the northern coast of the Bay of Bengal, is
surrounded by India, with a small common border with Myanmar
in the southeast. Bangladeshi cooking is a culinary
art-form. A taste tantalizing blend of wonderful and fragrant
spices that will keep you coming back for more.
KHATTA BEHGUN ( Sweet and Sour Eggplant): 2 lb eggplant, 1/2
teaspoon ground turmeric, 1/2 teaspoon ground red chili, 2
teaspoon ground coriander, 1 teaspoon ground garlic, 1/4
teaspoon ground ginger, 1 teaspoon panchforan, 1/2 cup
seedless tamarind, 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 2 tablespoons
finely chopped onion, 2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 cup sugar, 3/4 cup
cooking oil, 2 bayleafs.
Soak tamarind in 1 cup of water. Rub through a sieve and save
the thick liquid drained from it. Slice eggplant 1cm/ 1/2
inch thick, wash and drain water. Mix ground spices and salt
to make a paste. Mix eggplant with half of the paste. Fry
eggplant slices until light brown in a covered pan. Choose a
pan in which 2 or 3 layers of eggplants can be arranged after
wards. Heat rest of the oil in that pan. Add panchforan, bay
leaf, and rest of the spices except sugar and tamarind. Add
1/2 cup of water and stir until oil separates. Add 2 cups of
water, tamarind and sugar and arrange eggplant slices. Cover
and cook for about one hour. Remove from heat when gravy is
thick and is separated.
What is panchforan?: Panchforan (jira, moury, methi,
shorisha, Kali jira) = five spices(cumin,aniseed,fenugreek
seed,mustard seed, black cumin).
