Philippe You already got your answer, but this is another reason why everyone should own Charmaine Solomns "Encyclopedia of Asian Food". Mine's practically falling apart I use it so much. And I only bought it in 1998 or so. Very thorough description in there. Also knows as 'goraka' in Sri Lanka, and 'korrakkai-pulli' and 'kodampuli' in India. More info and uses on the net under those terms. -sw Thanks ! I have the book but in German ;-) ! Philippe |
