     1 tb Flour, all-purpose


     2 ts Red curry paste

SAUCE---------------------------------


     4 tb Sugar, granulated


     6 tb Vinegar, rice


   1/2 ts Salt





   Soak the moong beans in water for 30 minutes; drain. Roll the kaffir


 leaves into thin cigarettes; slice into slivers. In a mortar pound the


 drained moong beans to form a paste.  Add the other ingredients in turn,


 stirring well.  Pluck a small piece of the paste and form into a ball the


 size of a walnut.  Do not mould too tightly. Deep-fry the balls until


 golden brown, drain and serve with the thick sweet sauce below.


   THE SAUCE: Gently heat the three ingredients until the sugar dissolves.


 Allow to cool before serving.
