Thai Veg Skewers

If you are on vacation and love experimenting with new cuisines, then the best way to learn is to sign up for a local cooking class ...this is a must 'to-do' especially in far east countries. I have attended a Thai cooking class in Pattaya and I was so excited to come back and try the stuff that I actually went straight after class to a local market to purchase a wok and other stuff :))) Couldn't leave it at the utensils only,so even came back home with a whole lot of lemongrass and kafir limes :))) Have managed to grow the kafir lime which is sprouting a good number of leaves now..doubt I'll see the fruit for another decade! Anyway while I am totally against store bought pastes and sauces, this time is an excuse as I had a green curry paste packet lying around for rainy days..I have also cheated on making skewers :) , just tossed everything on a tray and baked in an oven..result was anyways equally good and really yummmy.

Ingredients 

1 yellow bell pepper, diced (big pieces)
1 large broccoli, cut into big florets
8-10 baby corn cobs, cut into two pieces each
2 tablespoons green curry paste
1 tablespoon soya sauce
5-6 kafir lime leaves (optional)
4-5 large garlic pods, unpeeled
1 onion, cut into wedges
1 teaspoon palm sugar (or regular sugar)
3 tablespoons olive oil
Salt

1. Pre-heat oven to 220 degrees Celcuis.
2. Toss the vegetables with the paste ,soya sauce and sugar. Add salt ,not too much as the paste also has salt.
3.Mix in one tablespoon of the olive oil.
4.Grease the tray with one tablespoon olive oil, spread the vegetables evenly. Drop the lime leaves and garlic pods here and there over the vegetables.
5. Pour the remaining oil over the vegetables . Bake on top rack for 15-20 minutes or till really well done.
6. Serve hot garnished with coriander and lemon wedges
