This Far Eastern dinner tantalizes with its spicy overtones. Fresh coconut chunks introduce the meal.
Ginger root lends a spark to the colorful orange carrot soup.
The Indonesian skewered chicken is seasoned with coriander. For a truly fresh aroma, the seeds are preferable to the ground spice. Use a spice mill, pepper mill, or coffee grinder to powder them. Accompany with savory cracked wheat and finish with warm papaya. Pour a Cabernet Blanc, a Gamay Rose or a Gewurztraminer for a superb companion.
