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. (more…)

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. (more…)

A statement while talking to your college friends is “Those were the days!!! Wish we got those days back !! “. Never in my dreams did I think that I would get an opportunity to enjoy college life at a latter stage of life. So when J got admission to the prestigious Indian School of Business, Hyderabad, I was truly elated. Well, I could enjoy the college life and needn’t worry about the exams and studies…Bliss !! Isn’t that a double whammy??
I was soooooo looking forward to the life at ISB. When we moved into our fully furnished studio apartment within the campus, the first thing I checked was the Microwave only to be disappointed a bit. Unfortunately it doesn’t have the convection function…which means… my baking has to take a backseat till I find a solution to it.. 
The last week was pretty hectic with activities and hence it took us even longer to get the kitchen running. A constant thought that was nagging me was the fact that I haven’t updated my blog. So the moment I managed to spare some time, I decided to share some Kerala recipes with you, my readers. (more…)
Mangalore Fish
Posted in All Recipes, Non-Vegetarian, Quick to Make Recipes, Seafood, South Indian, tagged Fish Recipes, Mangalore Fish, Non Vegetarian, Side Dish, South Indian on April 2, 2013 | 2 Comments »
Seafood…That was one of the must have’s in our list before heading home. Back in Agra, the chances of getting fresh fish of our choice was next to none. So, the trip to Kerala was double whammy. We get to meet our near and dear ones and eat seafood to our heart’s content. Another aspect for me was the fact that I get to prepare and put up some Fish recipes for my readers. 
The moment I decided to cook, I knew what I wanted. Mangalore Fish. A recipe that has moved into “My favourites” list ever since I tried it the first time some years back. (more…)

My sincere apologies to all my readers for not updating the site as often as you all would expect me to do. Being in the midst of packing our household for the next relocation, I was hardly getting any time to sit down and write the recipes. So, yesterday when I made Milagu Kozhi Chettinad aka Chettinad Pepper Chicken, I took time off from my packing to bring you this recipe. This recipe was taken from Jiggs Kalra’s collection. (more…)

I finally managed to grab a copy of Jiggs Kalra’s collection of recipes named ‘Prashad, Cooking with Indian Masters’. This book contains recipes from different parts of India, that too narrated by the Chefs themselves. I would definitely recommend this book to all those interested in trying out varied Indian cuisines.
Chicken Roast – Mom’s Style
Posted in All Recipes, Chicken, Gravies, Non-Vegetarian, South Indian, tagged Chicken, Chicken Roast, Gravies, Kerala Recipes, Mom's Style Chicken Roast, Side Dish, South Indian on December 5, 2012 | 4 Comments »
If you ask me to name some of my favourite chicken dishes, my Mom’s style Chicken Roast would be among the top ones. I like this dish for its thick gravy and the potato juliennes in it. These juliennes absorbs the taste of the gravy and they taste even better than the chicken itself. This is probably the only dish where I would happily sacrifice the chicken pieces for the extra gravy and the juliennes. 
Here’s the recipe….. (more…)

Kerala Porotta or Parotta (Layered Flat Bread)
Posted in All Recipes, Eggless Cooking/Baking, South Indian, tagged Bread, Eggless, Kerala Porotta, Kerala Recipes, Parotta, Porotta, South Indian on November 28, 2012 | 18 Comments »
The other day while we were strolling at the Diwali Carnival, I noticed a huge crowd at one of the food stalls. To my surprise, it was a Kerala stall serving Porotta and Chicken. My astonishment had to do with my realisation that Kerala Porotta was popular even in the northern part of India. Any way we managed to get our share without a long wait.
Kerala Porotta is a layered flat bread served with a veg or non veg curry. There is a North Indian version of it known as Lachcha Paratha. Given a choice, I would always go in for our very own Kerala Porotta…

Parippu Thenga Arachu Vachathu or Parippu Curry is one of the must-have dishes for any Kerala style vegetarian Sadya (feast). Rice with a ladleful of this curry topped with a spoonful of warm clarified butter is a meal I would die for. Its the clarified butter which gives this dish that distinctive taste and aroma. The mention of this combination takes me back to my boarding days, when we used to look forward to this meal served on Sundays. My mouth has already started watering……
