Here are some more information for Oriental Ginger Jar:
Once a month I clean out the refrigerator, and create a soup or stew out of what I find. Usually it's veggies that I did not get around to cooking for one reason or another. I love Indian food and cook it often. A friend of mine studied and lived in India; she brought back some great recipes and methods for cooking Indian food. This recipe is a modification of two of her recipes. One of my favorites is fish curry from the Goa region of India. Today, I came up with a tofu and vegetable curry. I used cauliflower, yellow squash, onions, garlic, sweet peppers, carrots and jalapeño peppers. This recipe calls for tamarind. You may find tamarind and garam masala spice at an Asian market. The other method is to soak the tamarind pods and strip the fiber strings off the pods. The paste in the jar is much easier to use. Trust me on this bit of advice.
1 package or extra firm Tofu diced
½ a head cauliflower chopped
½ package of tiny cut carrots
½ package of frozen peas
1 medium red onion chopped
2 cloves garlic chopped
1 green jalapeno pepper chopped
8 oz can of diced tomatoes
1 can coconut milk reduced fat
2 tablespoons tomato paste
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground coriander
Large handful of fresh cilantro chopped fine for garnish
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes or more to taste
1 teaspoon Garam Masala
2 tablespoons tamarind paste or ¼ cup of juice
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
2 teaspoons turmeric powder
2 inch peeled and grated fresh ginger
2 tablespoons lemon, lime juice or vinegar
12 oz. of free range chicken or veggie stock
1 tablespoon sesame or olive oil
¼ each sweet red, yellow and orange peppers diced
1 medium yellow squash peeled and diced
Or use your veggies of choice.
The key to cooking Indian food to is to know when to add the spices, including salt and black pepper. A very commonly used spice is garam masala which is a combination of Indian spices and can be found in most health food stores. As for diabetics (I am one) the only real fat it the dish is the sesame oil and coconut milk. There are carbohydrates in the veggies but I divided this dish into 8-10 portions so the carbohydrates will be lower per serving.
In a food processor (I use mini processor) put in the jalapeno pepper, onion, garlic, lemon, lime juice and grated ginger. I have a little tip about ginger; I keep it in the freezer in an airtight bag, it so much easier to peel and grate. Pulse the mixture until it forms a wet paste. Put mixture into a deep pot, add all the spices at the same time keep stirring so the mixture does not burn or stick. It may take 5 minutes or more for the mixture to dry out and become paste like. Add the tablespoon of oil, it will thin the mixture and smooth it out. At this point add tomatoes, chicken or vegetable stock, vegetables, tomato paste and cook on medium heat until bubbling. Add coconut milk, stir until smooth, turn down heat to low and simmer for 20-30 minutes or until all the vegetables are done and stew is thick. Add in the tofu, cover and simmer a few more minutes. Serve with rice, top with the chopped cilantro leaves. Enjoy.

Using Items Such As Fancy Boxes To Decorate One's Home
Decorating the house has always been one of the first things that any person does whenever he or she moves into his or her new house. Furthermore, decorating a house has become such a big deal that there are professionals with formal training in this art form. However, decorating and designing one's home is not such a big deal as most house wives will resoundingly accept. In fact, all that one needs to decorate one's house is an eye for aesthetics and a mind that can bend the rules a little. The most fundamental aspect of decorating a house is, of course, using the right furniture, curtains, and paint. It is the next step that usually sets apart a house with impact from a house with generic decorations. This is the use of knickknacks, such as decorative boxes, jewelry boxes, vases, frames, and other similar yet unique items. The following are some of the tips:
1.Location:
The location of where items, such as simple decorative boxes, will be placed is very important. These decorative items should complement their surroundings in a way that they do not jar the sensibilities of the viewer. Furthermore, the object should be placed in a way that it does not hinder normal functions in the room while, at the same time, imparting a homely feel to it.
2.Orientation:
What most people do not understand is that just strewing boxes and similar items around the room will not make the room look good. These items and objects need to be placed logically and rationally, not to mention aesthetically. For example, grouping items usually helps. However, grouping such items in straight lines or in crowds is not the right thing to do. They should be grouped in slanting levels of height and not in the middle. Again, they should not be grouped unless they complement and supplement each other with respect to colors and shapes.
3.Styles:
These decorative objects and other similar items should complement the prevalent style of the room and the house. For example, a room that has been designed to look very modern will not be able to support antique boxes or similar knickknacks and vice versa.
Using these techniques can easily add that extra 'wow' effect to the final look of the room and home. Finding the right items can be troublesome though, and the home owner should never settle for the second best thing if he or she has a vision. Therefore, not to compromise with one's vision, the person should look for the right items online. The Internet has many options to offer to a diligent searcher. There are many online shopping websites that provide many such items as decorative boxes, jewelry boxes, vases, and picture frames of numerous sizes, shapes, colors, and styles for their customers. These should be taken advantage of by the visionary home decorator, as these tend to not only provide options, but also do so at reasonable prices.
