If you are craving a hot and spicy dish with the pungent aroma of freshly ground spices, then this Chettinad Chicken Fry is for you. It is a typical stir fry from the Chettinad region of Tamil Nadu, and like all Chettinad dishes, it will hit the all right spots, especially the spicy ones.
This Kerala chicken roast is yet another Lekshmi Nair recipe and will remind you of curries at your favorite “family” kallu kada (toddy shop). It has the bold, strong flavors that you normally associate with Kerala non vegetarian cuisine; feel free to adjust spice according to your tolerance level!
Murgh Saagwala is essentially chicken (murgh) cooked in pureed spinach (saag). It’s a mild curry that I quite like and I so badly wanted to cook it recently that I braved the c-c-cold Bangalore weather in search of spinach. By the time I got the leaves in the fifth shop I went to, I could barely fe
Crispy baked chicken wings tossed in a hot and sweet honey, sriracha sauce with ginger, garlic and cumin. I have taken another long break from blogging. But for once, it was not because I was lazy, but because I was super busy, with work…and baking as well. Crl’s son’s school was hosting a Diwali
Samosas have a habit of running out just before I get hold of one. I went to this samosa stall near a mosque recently, hoping to lay my hands on the famed chicken samosas. But I was late by a few minutes and they had run out. As if to add insult to injury, the young stall keeper offered me vegetaria
This is the non vegetarian version of my capsicum curry that was quite a hit with everyone who tried it. Adding chicken to the recipe has made it even better (obviously)! It is very much like the North Indian curries you would enjoy in your favourite Indian restaurant. The curry pairs well with whit
Twinkling stars and decked up trees, the red nosed Rudolph and jolly old Santa, festive wreaths and shiny angels, joy and hope, reds whites and greens; it’s so difficult to contain the excitement that Christmas brings along And equally enticing is all the food that happens during the holiday season
This was obviously a recipe meant for Valentine’s Day. But then I decided that love should be celebrated all through the year and I should post this a few days late just to remind everyone of the promises made on V Day. I assure you, my being late had nothing to do with being inexplicably lazy.
Whether you are in love or not, this is one dessert that you’ll enjoy. Mini heart shaped pavlova drizzled with melted dark chocolate and filled with whipped cream, cherry pie filling and chocolate sauce; what’s not to like?
I spent almost half my lifetime in Oman but my experience with Arabic food is very limited. Hardly surprising, because Salalah, the town I lived in was more or less like Kerala. It was surprisingly green for a desert, got the occasional rainfall that the Arabs loved to watch and most importantly, th
Twenty years back, if you asked a kid how a dish tasted, he would have responded with ‘good’, ‘spicy’ or a simple ‘I don’t like it’. The polite ones who have stacked the less appealing food on the side of the plate till some adult took pity and excused them from eating it. The naughty ones would have smuggled it away from the dining table and into the trash, or would have fed it to Charlie or Jimmy waiting patiently underneath the table, tongue hanging out.
The kids today give you a full depth analysis about the chicken being a bit too dry, the cheese cake luscious and ‘beautiful’ and how a bit more of lime would have balanced out those flavors perfectly, plus a tip or two about the perfect sushi if they feel like it. Marriage is no longer something that happens between a man and a woman but also (between man man, woman woman?), between flavors and textures. Kids continue to like their fried chicken and pizza but they also want to try foie gras and caviar.
Food is no longer abou
