I am looking for an old recipe, can anyone help?!
I used to have a recipe for a dish called chicken pasta potpourri!. It came from one of those grocery checkout line magazine cookbooks!. It had veggies, pasta, garlic, and ginger in it!. I would appreciate if anyone has any information to pass it along! Thanks! Www@FoodAQ@Com

Now in the same oil saute copra(I'm not sure whether the dessicated coconut that we get in the Indian store will do the trick, I would prefer you to use the real 'copra' that you get in the Indian shops)!.Copra and parsley gives a very tasty twist to the whole pickle!.I was quite surprised to see it for the first time in a pickle,but was told by the Guntur aunty that they add it with chicken for a richer taste!.Now keep the roasted copra aside!.Dry roast(without adding oil) the required salt in a wok and keep it aside!.Now heat 5tbsp oil in a wok!.Add Red chilli powder,a pinch of turmeric powder and mix well!.Saute the powders very carefully in a very low flame for a couple of minutes till you get a very strong aroma of the chilli powder!.Now add vinegar and half a cup of water to it!.
