ONE LITTLE GOAT

Here it is, nearly two weeks later, and I wake up with the words in my head.

Chad gadya, chad gadya.
Dizvan abah bitrei zuzei,
Chad gadya, chad gadya.

Chad gadya, chad gadya.
Ve'ata shunra, ve'achla legadya;
Dizvan abah bitrei zuzei,
Chad gadya, chad gadya.

Chad gadya, chad gadya.
Ve'ata chalba, venashach leshunra;
De'achla legadya,
Dizvan abah bitrei zuzei;
Chad gadya, chad gadya.

Chad gadya, chad gadya.
Ve'ata chutra, vehikah lechalba;
Denashach leshunra,
De'achla legadya;
Dizvan abah bitrei zuzei,
Chad gadya, chad gadya.

Ve ceterot le nauseum......

I am very fond of goat curry.
Not so much of repetitive songs about goats.

One little goat. With chilies, ground coriander seed, a bit of toasted cumin, turmeric, garlic, galangal, ginger, onion, coconut milk, star anise, black pepper, fennel, stick cinnamon, cardamom pods. No cloves. 
Braise, seethe, and simmer. Garnish with cilantro and spring onion.
Serve with cut lime on the side to squeeze, plus a bowl of fresh sambal.
Crusty French bread for dipping, as well as boiled rice, and some serundeng.

Enough for two people.
Candle light. Polished crystal.
Sparkling tableware, and fine sherry.

It's tender and delicious.
Bon appétit.
