deleted names from electoral rolls, on the pritest that they
were not residents of Goa. Naik said persons working abroad or
on ships are away from home for a temporary period and
cannot be denied their right to vote. (H) Naik told the CEO
that those working abroad temporarily would return to
Goa and hence do not cease to be ordinary citizens. (GT)

Kerala Mushroom Thiyal
If you love mushrooms, coconut, and south Indian food, this
is the recipe for you. You can either serve this as a side
vegetable dish, or as a main dish with rice or Indian breads.
For coconut Paste: 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, 8 garlic cloves, peeled
and left whole (use less if preferred, 1 1/2 cups grated coconut (fresh
or frozen or unsweetened, desiccated) 1/2-1 teaspoon pure chili powder
(or to taste), 1 tablespoon coriander powder, 3/4 cup water.
For Mushroom Curry: 1/2-1 tablespoon vegetable oil or butter or ghee,
16 ounces fresh button mushrooms, halved (or quartered if large), 1
tablespoon vegetable oil, extra, 1 tablespoon ginger root, cut in
julienne strips, 1-3 green chilies, cut in half lengthwise (de-seeded
for less heat), 1/2 cup onions, sliced, 1 teaspoon turmeric powder,
reserved mushroom liquid, made up to 1 1/2 cups, with water, 1 teaspoon
salt (or to taste), 10-15 fresh curry leaves (or frozen), 2-3 teaspoons
thick tamarind paste
For Tempering : 1 1/2 teaspoons vegetable oil, 1 teaspoon black mustard
seeds
To make the coconut paste: Heat the vegetable oil in a non-stick, heavy
skillet and add the coconut and garlic. Stirring frequently, gently
toast the coconut with the garlic cloves, until the coconut is golden
brown. If using freshly grated or frozen grated coconut, this will take
15 to 20 minutes. If using unsweetened dessicated coconut, it will take
less time. Be careful not to burn the coconut.
Stir in the chili powder and roast with the coriander powder and
coconut for one minute. Set aside and cool lightly, then transfer the
mixture to a blender with the water, and grind to a very fine paste. Set
aside.
To make the mushroom curry: Lightly saute the mushrooms in vegetable
oil, butter or ghee until silken and just softened. Drain and reserve
any liquid. Set aside.
In a medium-size pan, heat the extra vegetable oil and saute the ginger,
chilies and onions for two to three minutes. Add the drainned mushrooms,
turmeric powder, the mushroom liquid made up to 1 1/2 cups with water,
and salt, then partially cover with a lid, and simmer 5 minutes. Add the
curry leaves and tamarind paste, and stir briefly before adding the
coconut paste. Cover pan and cook over low heat for three minutes.
Last step: Just before serving, heat the 1 1/2 tsp vegetable oil in a
small skillet and toss in the mustard seeds. Once they start to pop and
crackle, pour them into the mushroom dish, stir.
