Gone Durian Hunting

For the year 2012 I am off on a fools mission - chasing the durian fruit in SE Asia. For any of you not familiar with the durian, it's a thorny fruit infamous not only for its dangerous spikes and remarkable odor, but for its powers of division. Few people are without opinion when it comes to durian - it's either love or hate.

Raw South Indian Thali

A thali is a meal usually served as a late lunch. It can be as simple as rice and a few soups and sauces, or as complex as a multi-course meal. Northern Indian Cuisine is quite different than Southern Indian, so a thali will vary a lot depending on where you are. The basics of a thali is a rice, a soup, a vegetable salad, a yogurt, and something sweet. You can mix and match at your own discretion, but here is a sample thali that I created for some friends while studying in Southern India.
