Ingredients for Thai Curry Sauce Raw Food Recipe

Video Transcript

"Hi! Nili Nathan and Rachel Carr. Rachel is showing us how to make a red Thai Curry so now that we've done that part, what's next? So we have the paste and this is all the concentrated Thai herbs and spices and we are going to make the sauce in the blender. Usually they will cook it in a sauce pan or something but since we are raw, we don't do that. So basically we put the paste in the blender and then the next ingredient is coconut oil which solidifies when it gets cool. So that is what we have here. This is our coconut oil, coconut butter. Right. I've heard it referred to as a few different things. It is basically coconut. When it solidifies, it is coconut butter. When you heat it up, you can like say you have a container of coconut oil and it is hardened the way this has, you can just put the jar in some hot water. I store mine in the refrigerator. You can use it as a body moisturizer and it is good for your skin when you take it internally too in your food. Right. You know by eating it raw especially you get all the benefits. You know heated fats are one of the main fatty acids you want to stay away from. No trans fats. That was 1 cup of coconut oil and this is cashew milk that we made here at the restaurant. We do all kinds of things with it. We make our ice creams with it, we sell it by the glass, and it is just made blending water and cashew and then straining it through a bag. I do it with almonds. Exactly. So that is where you are getting a lot of your protein in the raw food diet. This is 1 ½ cups of the cashew milk. Now this is powdered coconut and this is very very special. Where did you get that? We get it from a supplier that I met. He was a customer in the restaurant and he makes this on a farm in Costa Rico. Yeah. He brings it up. It was kind of a hobby of his and he gave me some of his product and it is just delicious and we use it in a lot of our deserts and in this curry sauce. So that was a cup of the coconut powder. "
