公平貿易咖啡 Fairtrade Coffee

喝完家裡前一批買的咖啡豆後，決定來購買生態綠的咖啡豆，生態綠是台灣第一間通過 國際公平貿易組織 (FLO)認證的貿易商。
After running out my coffee beans recently, I decided to buy Okogreen coffee beans, Okogreen is the first Fairtrade Labelling Organization (FLO) trader.
生態綠從一開始只提供公平貿易咖啡，到現在有公平貿易超市，除了咖啡外更提供巧克力、啤酒、橄欖油....等商品，讓公平貿易更能親近大眾。在台灣仍然有許多人對於公平貿易仍然不太熟悉，知道的人或許會覺得這一類的商品就是比較貴，但我們的消費是有能力幫忙這些辛苦的小農的。而且價錢也沒有大家想像中的貴，比起一些所謂的名牌咖啡豆可以說是相當合理的價錢，口感也相當順口，不加糖不加奶也相當好喝。
Okogreen provided fairtrade coffee in the beginning of their business, they also have fairtrade supermaket now. Besides coffee, the various products are provided, such as chocolate, beer, olive oil ...etc. That makes fairtrade products more close to consumers. The stereo type of fairtrade product is more expensive, however, that also shows that our consumption could help the farmers to get rational payment and work in good working environment. In fact, the prices of fairtrade products are not that high as we thought, compare to some branded coffee beans, its price is pretty decent and it is also very tasty, even without sugar and milk. 

生態綠咖啡豆包裝非常有意思，把紙盒拆開後就會看裡面不是空白一片，而是對於公平貿易的介紹以及主要幾個國家人民生活在貧窮線以下的人口數及比例，除此外還有一小本咖啡懶人包，教你如何保存及泡出一杯好咖啡。
The package of Okogreen coffee bean is quite impressive, when we open the paper package, it shows a brief introduction of fairtrade and the population of some countries living below poverty line, also there is a small booklet which teach you how to keep coffee beans and make a good cup of coffee. 

我用法式瀘壓壺沖出來的咖啡，順口不苦，帶點微微的酸。雖然說一杯咖啡可以改變世界太誇張，但也不要小看自己的力量，或許有許多人的生活因為你而改變。

I use french press to make coffee, the coffee beans is really nice, it's a bit sour but not bitter. Maybe it is too exaggerated to change a world by a cup of coffee, but don't overlook the power of your consumption, many people's life might be changed because of you.

印度烤餅 Chapati

我是個又愛吃辣又愛香料的人，所以對於印度菜完全沒有抵抗力，尤其是印度的餅類配咖哩真的是超好吃。
之前有做過Naan是屬於要發酵的烤餅，這次要做的Chapati是用全麥麵粉而且不用發酵的超快速烤餅。
I am a super fan of hot and spicy food, so I really cannot resit Indian food, especially their bread are just so good with curry.
Last time I made Naan which leavened flatbread, but Chapati is unleavened one, which means that it is much quick and easy to make Chapati. 

材料(Ingredient)
1. 全麥麵粉(Whole Wheat Flour): 2杯 (2 Cups)
2. 鹽(Salt): 1 茶匙 (1 Tea Spoon)
3. 橄欖油(Olive Oil): 2 湯匙 (2 Table Spoon)
4. 溫水 (Warm Water): 3/4 杯 (3/4 Cup)

做法(Method)
1. 將鹽加入麵粉中拌勻
     Add salt in to flour and mix it.
2. 將油加入麵粉中後再慢慢倒入水，記得水別一次倒完，視麵團狀況調整水量，揉成不沾手的麵團即可
    Add olive oil in and warm water in slowly, don't add all water in one time. Make a soft and elastic dough, but not sticky. 
3. 麵團蓋上濕布休息20分鐘 
    Cover with a towel and allow the dough to rest about 20 mins. 
4. 將麵團分為10等份，桿成薄薄的圓形
    Divide the dough to 10 parts and roll out until very thin. 
5. 平底鍋加熱，但火別轉太大，桿好的餅直接放上去烤即可，一下子就會看到麵皮冒泡泡漲起來，然後再翻面烤，一下子就好囉
    Heat the pan until hot, but keep the heat medium, lay a Chapati on it until the surface is bubbling. Then turn it over for 15~20 seconds, as soon as the brown spot on the       underside.

這是個非常簡易快速的度，吃起來不像Naan有些彈性，但由於是全麥做的，咬起來非常有麥香，配上咖哩真的超好吃唷。另外，因為當天Chapati吃不完，所以隔天早上我就拿來當蛋餅皮也是超適合的，Chapati再煎一下更是酥脆。
