GALLOPING HORSES (MA HO)
Fruit with a savory meat topping. For the coriander root: look for cilantro bunches sold with their roots still attached. They may be tiny or up to several inches long. If you can't find any cilantro root, substitute chopped cilantro stems with a few leaves mixed in.

GALLOPING HORSES(MA HO)
"Ma Ho, is a popular Thai hors d'oeuvre, a spicy meat mixture usually served in tangerine segments. We made it into easier finger food by filling endive leaves." I haven't tried these but my friend Georgina made them and they all seemed to enjoy them. She found it on atasteofthai.com.

I love Thai cuisine. Here is one appetiser that I serve at parties. It is a must that you use the garnish. A Madhur Jaffrey recipe. ( My favourite cookery author). Fruit serves as the base of this open sandwich kind of dish.

Steps:
- Peel and slice the oranges crossways into 5 slices each omitting the side slices and carefully remove all the white pith and the seeds/ You can use 10 pineapple slices too sometimes as the oranges we get in India are not as compact as the western oranges.

- Heat oil in a fry pan on medium heat and saute the onions until they brown.
- Add the meat and stir till it is brown.
- Reduce heat and add the peanuts, sugar and fish sauce.
- Stir till the sugar has melted.
- Put 1 tblsp or more of this meat mixture in the middle of each orange slice (divide the mix over the ten slices) Place one slice of chilli (Oh! Galloping horses) and 1 leaf of the coriander leaf on each heap of meat and serve at room temperature.
Tips:
- For the best flavor, use fresh, high-quality ingredients.
- If you don't have a wok, you can use a large skillet or Dutch oven instead.
- Be sure to heat your wok or skillet over high heat before adding the oil.
- Stir-fry the vegetables quickly, until they are tender-crisp.
- Add the sauce and cook until it is heated through.
- Serve the Ma Po Tofu immediately, over rice or noodles.
