TRIBUTE TO FELICIO CARDOSO, the Konkani journalist who
died a year back (with Fr Freddy Da Costa) from the
prominent Konkani-to-English translator Xavier Cota,
formerly in Tanzania: "Who knows, the spirit of Felicio
Cardoso, who recognised the Romi-script as a
necessary bridge to lead thousands of marginalised Goans
back into the Konkani mainstream, may yet inspire a
high-quality self-sustaining Romi Konkani daily, which
will be a by-word for courageous, credible journalism
for a new Goan renaissance!" (Herald)

CULINARY CORNER * Served special for Goanet, from Daisy Rodrigues, Calif.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Our star ingredient for the next few days will be Crab. Crab meat is
highly rich in calcium. The trick is to cook it in its shell, that retains
the juice, the flavor and the taste of the crab-meat. If you crack open the
crab shell and scoop out the meat and cook it, you will find it to be
rubbery and very often tasteless.
The following recipe was sent to me by Eddie Fernandes, creator of this
recipe is: Chef Floyd Cardoz, Tabla, New York. Hope you enjoy it. Get back
to me and let me know how it turned out.
Crab cakes - Ingredients-1/4 c Corn oil for frying, 1 onion-diced small, 1
tablespoon peeled & minced fresh ginger, 1/4 tablespoon minced garlic, 1
teaspoon ground coriander, 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 1/4 teaspoon turmeric, 1
tomato-finely diced, 1 cup crab-meat-carefully picked, 2 medium shrimp-minced
to a fine paste, 2 limes-zested (chop up the zest) and then juice them, 8
sprigs of cilantro-chopped, 1 tablespoon chopped chives, 1 egg-beaten, 1 cup
panko (breadcrumbs)-available in Japanese stores-I substituted Italian
*breadcrumbs and it was fine, salt to taste, freshly ground black pepper to
taste, cayenne to taste.
Process: In a large saute pan, heat one tablespoon of the corn oil. Add the
onion, ginger and garlic and saute for 5 minutes over medium heat. Add the
coriander, cumin, turmeric and the tomato and continue to cook until it
turns dry. Remove from heat & cool down. In a large mixing bowl, combine
crabmeat, onion mixture, shrimp, chopped lime zest and juice, cilantro,
chives, beaten egg and 3 tablespoons of the panko. Season with salt, pepper
& cayenne. Mix well so that all the ingredients are well incorporated. Test
a small quantity by forming a teaspoon of this mix into a small patty and
fry it in a pan. Adjust the salt and pepper if necessary. Divide this
mixture into 4 equal portions. Form into balls and flatten to form small
patties. Put the rest of the panko on a cutting board. Place the patties one
at a time in the breadcrumbs. Heat a heavy-bottomed skillet large enough to
hold the crab cakes on medium heat. Add the oil and fry the crab cakes. When
the cakes turn a light golden color, flip them over and cook them on the
other side until they are light golden in color. Using a slotted spatula,
remove and drain on a paper towel. I served my crab cakes with a sweet &
spicy sauce, yum!
Tip - (for those of you that do not get ready-made breadcrumbs -- toast some
leftover bread in the oven until crispy, then blend to make a coarse powder,
add some cumin & turmeric powders to give it a little flavor) -- Daisy
Speaking of crab, my 10-year old wanted me to put in this joke, here goes:
Q: How much does a crab eat? A: Just a pinch!
