Hi folks
Here is a recipe I found which is famous in India.
CALDIN
1-1/2 lb. shrimps (clean)
3 ozs. coconut cream
1/2 tsp cumin powder
1 tsp tumeric powder
1/2 tsp. each garlic and ginger paste
1 medium onion (sliced)
2-3 green chillies (sliced in half)
tamarind paste and salt to taste
Method:
Mix coconut cream with one cup of warm water
To this add cumin, tumeric, garlic, ginger and mix well.
Fry the onion in a little oil, then add the above and green chillies and bring to a boil.
When it boils, add the shrimps and cook for 3-4 mins. Add tamarind juice and salt to taste.
Tip. When defrosting fish, place under a cold running tap, never hot.

I don't think coconut products (coconut itself, coconut cream, or coconut milk) are safe, but maybe someone else can jump in on this one. I know it's all very high in fat, which is bad enough for IBS, but I believe it's the kind of fat that makes it even worse.

I know it's not polyunsaturated fats, but I thought the IBS problem was just the high levels of fat.

I had out Eating For IBS, so I checked what Heather says about it. She lists Coconut Milk as a trigger because it is extremely high in fat and goes on to say that the fat is saturated. I would imagine a recipe with that in it would be safe as long as there was lots of SF and enough calories to cushion the fat - say if you served the Caldin over rice.
I looked up "coconut cream" and found that it's made from coconut milk plus milk or cream, simmered with coconut meat, then strained. I imagine you could use soy or rice milk, but I wouldn't begin to know how to calculate the fat content. Is this what you mean by "coconut cream", Jennifer? If so, do you know the fat content?

Hi,
This is exactly what I meant about coconut cream. Yes I know it is a trigger item but eaten once in a while in limited quantities along with rice is fine. Jennifer

...for people that are still trying to stabilise, ALL triggers should be cut out or they can really set you back.

I fully agree with you Linz, but this is a dish I make once a year as I have so many, many recipes with me and only try the non trigger items for the present. However once stabilized, I shall make those other trigger items just once as I like to eat this with rice.

If you switched it to 1 cup lite coconut milk it would be 4 grams of fat per serving if it is 4 servings. Lite coconut milk has 4 grams of fat per 1/4c. So over rice that is real nice! 
Furthermore use oil spray instead of oil and what is with the green chilis sliced in half? Wowsers.

for butter or margarine in recipes, since it's semi-solid...and tasteless....not much mind you because it IS a fat, but I do use it and it hasn't caused a problem. Most butter subs are soy based and I can't use them. Can't get Spectrum here which I understand is not soy based, so until that time will keep using coconut oil.
I'm still trying to find out what tamarind juice/liquid is

OK, than that must be soy sauce right?
Can't do soy, but I DO sub fish sauce for soy sauce and have come to love the stuff! (there are a million different kinds from really cheap to really expensive....just like wine..the owner of our Asian market is educating me on the different ones)
Thanks Linz for the clarification. Kandee

info page. in my store it comes in a little jar like ginger does and it is a paste. It looks sticky. but I don't know if they carry the liquid. It seems like lemon juice could be substituted?

Thanks..Great link..has lots of medicinal value as well. I suppose you could soak some of the paste in water to make the liquid. I will remember the sub of lemon juice as I don't think we have an Indian market here.
OK, since you are the gourmet cook on this board..........have you ever grown/used purslane? It has a world of health benefits but I know nothing about it or have heard of anyone actually using it in cooking. I don't even know where you'd get it if you didn't grow your own.

Hi there,
I agree with you, using lite coconut milk would be better Slicing the green chilles in half is only the goan (people from Goa - India) way of using chillies. I normally slice the chillies in half and remove the seeds this way the dish is not spicy as I dont take spicy food at all. Jennifer

Hi there,
If you cannot get tamarind in your area you may use lemon juice but the taste with be different. This is an indian recipe and the indians mostly use tamarind juice when making fish/shrimp curry. Once I used vinegar for my fish curry and I did not like the taste at all.

Nope, not yet....that will be with the next trip  .......I'm starting to love that place..just got my makings for boba tea and can't wait..trouble is, no one wants to join me at trying it during my first attempt..
Tell me something, I'm told the best curry is where you blend the curry seasonings yourself..is this true, and if so what is the recipe for that blend? Thanks Jennifer...and BTW, your ribbon rice sounds incredible and as pretty as it can be.........just wish you were closer so you could make it for all of us to try....

Hi Kandee,
Hopefully you will get the tamarind soon and try making Caldin. You are right when you blend the spices yourself in the blender or the old fashion way on a grinding stone it is good. We get a lot of ready made masala for various dishes but I dont care for them and only use it when absolutely necessary. I used to make pickles for the ladies in the office and ground the spices myself in the blender. This gave a beautiful red color. Now I dont have the time to do this. My whole diet has changed because of IBS so avoid chillies completely. I will post some recipes on the board and you must try out the ribbon rice. Love Jenny

Hi,
I have no idea what Tamarind Soy Sauce is. We get soy sauce which we use for marinating meat. But tamarind is something else. Only the Indian store will have it. I am under the impression that you have Indian stores out there.

You go for it. Jamie Oliver did that one time on his show. But still be careful for sprayed areas. Purslane is easy to pull up too.

Hi Kandee,
I dont know if my previous message reached you as our electricity went off just at that time. Tamarind in Worcesteshire sauce is not what I am talking about. I went to the super market on Saturday and found a bottle called 'Imli sauce'. Imli is the Hindi/Urdu word for tamarind so at the Indian store you could ask for Imli. You have to take a one inch ball size and soak it in hot water for a while. Then remove the seeds if any, and with your hands mash it up and take the juice out. Hope you will succeed in getting tamarind.

2 English guys (presumably for Worchestershire) came back from India and discovered a yummy brown sauce in with their stuff. They duplicated the taste as best they could and called it Worchestershire sauce and sold it. Funny I don't think HFCS was in the original recipe but it is in Lea and Perrins!  BTW it is pronounced Wuzz ter shur, in case anyone wonders.
