Prawn Curry with Coconut Milk

[KennethT]

This video popped up on my YouTube feed.  Not only is it interesting, but I found it really relaxing to watch in a kind of meditative way... how she doesn't cut her hands prepping the vegetables like that is beyond me.

Thanks - nice video. Love those coconut graters. When I first started using coconut the only option was cracking a whole one, So after prying meat out I used a blender and warmish water doing succisive hand squeezing for first rich, second,  last. I'd no idea about the more traditional graters.  The knife techniques - always interesting to see the chopping, slicing, paring in hand. I grew up that way and in videos most often see women globally doing it. Sharp  knife and practice =- second nature.  Drives my father the butcher crazy when he catches me.

This lady has been on here before, i can't remember who posted. She's the real deal. Her knife skills are fantastic and utterly unselfconscious, as is all of her cooking.

huh. I've never seen her, but so glad YouTube thought I might like it.  For once, being creepy is a good thing.  Plus, it's just so relaxing watching her - between the rhythmic chopping and the insects/birds in the background, I feel like I'm right there with her.  I don't know how they got the sound to be so clear but it's fantastic.

My fingers, wrists, AND shoulders all hurt just from watching that video.

She is a skilled and confident cook and a joy to watch. That knife seems to be an extension of her hand.

I am very fond of Indian Cuisine. This prawn curry recipe made by this lady looks delicious. Definitely going to try this myself.
