The CookingBites Spice Challenge - Spice of the Month (August 2017):Ginger

Thank you everyone for your lovely entries. There were 9 entries altogether. The following entries caught my eye:

Thai Coconut Soup from @The Late Night Gourmet - I don't normally like things containing coconut milk but I was so inspired to make this that I have obtained a fresh coconut (as recommended by @Francesca ) to try it out.
Courgette Kofta in a Ginger and Tomato Sauce from @Elawin. I'm not a great fan of courgettes either (!) as I find them rather insipid, but this way of cooking them looks very interesting and is one I will try out.
Rougaille (Mauritian tomato-based dish) from @Herbie. A very unusual (to me, at least) and intriguing regional dish.
Crispy Ginger Potatoes from @Yorky. A simple, spicy, very gingery recipe!

In the end I decided on the Rougaille. I'm so intrigued that I simply must try it! So I hereby declare @Herbie the winner of the August Spice Challenge. See below for the choice of prize.
 
Here are the prizes on offer @Herbie - just choose one and PM me a postal address!
