My interview in a Malayalam Magazine… :-)

May 23, 2013 by Mareena Jerrish

This time before heading home for my vacations, I had received a message on my Facebook page. The person mentioned that they would like to do an article on me for their Malayalam magazine Snehitha. Initially when I read it, I thought that they wanted me to write a column. I was surprised when I re-read the message. They wanted to do an interview with me. What??? Interview ??? With me?? These were my reactions. After consulting with J, I gave the green signal. I had completely forgotten about this till I got a call from Seema, the senior reporter of Snehitha magazine. It took me a while to accept the fact I am going to be interviewed. I felt truly humbled. Continue Reading »

Baingan Bhartha (Smoky Mashed Brinjal)

May 12, 2013 by Mareena Jerrish

Baingan Bhartha 2

I have come across a lot of people who dislike Brinjal from the bottom of their hearts. I too was one of them, till the foodie in me got the better of me, getting me to be a little adventurous. Am I thankful for that change?? You bet !! One thing I realised after trying this dish was that, Brinjal wasn’t that bad after all. Gone were the days when I used to find an excuse to not have Brinjal. It was D’s turn now and I must say, he is following in my footsteps. He would plainly refuse to even taste. All this changed during our recent trip to a resort called Tribal Camp in Pench. We were served Baingan Bhartha during lunch there. The moment I tasted it, I was bowled over. That was the best Bhartha I have ever tasted in my life. Though it took a while to convince D to try it, he too loved it. He not only took a second helping, but went a step ahead and asked the waiter to get the recipe for him. Isn’t that cute?? Though I got the recipe, to my disappointment, it didn’t have the measurements. Continue Reading »

Squid Thoran 1

 

Once we reached ISB, our first outing was to Hypercity in Inorbit Mall to check out grocery items. I was looking around checking out stuff, when D came running and said, “Mama, they have squid here.” The excitement of seeing Squid, his favourite was written all over his face. Needless to say, after a while, we were headed home with a packet of squid in our shopping bag. Squid thoran was the first idea that popped in my mind for the next day’s lunch.  Continue Reading »

Fish Curry

April 28, 2013 by Mareena Jerrish

Fish curry

I was really missing fish back in Agra and tried to make the most of my vacation by making varieties of seafood dishes. One such dish was a simple fish curry using onions and tomatoes. The first time I was introduced to this preparation was by a good friend Mrs Gordon. I was indeed surprised to see that fish could be prepared in similar way as chicken masala. The only difference was tamarind pulp is added for the sourness. Continue Reading »

Potato Rosti

April 27, 2013 by Mareena Jerrish

Rosti

While preparing for our move from Agra, I had almost wound up the kitchen and had very limited stuff in the pantry. So when I had to whip up something for breakfast, the first thought that came into mind was Potato Rosti. Rosti is a dish supposedly originated from Switzerland. It is pretty much similar to hash browns and very easy to make. Continue Reading »
