Spicy Prawn Masala / Prawn Curry / Shrimp Curry

7/26/2015

0 Comments

 
This is one of my most drooled over food pic on social network. (Don't forget to follow me in FB, Instagram and Pinterest, etc. - Links on the right hand corner)

My bro had come home last weekend and i had to make prawns for lunch, because that's his favorite. I was in a big dilemma whether to make prawns biriyani or masala curry. Both are equally tasty and i too just love prawns aka shrimps. I sometimes wonder why few people are so allegic to prawns. They cannot even touch them, else they would have to be admitted in a hospital. Pity them :(

Without any more stories, lets jump right to the Prawn Masala Recipe. You can do a little bit of changes to make it into a semi-gravy or gravy at the end.

The Classic Indian Fish Fry Recipe

4/5/2015

0 Comments

 
We love to try different non-vegetarian recipes and cuisines, but in the end we have to admit that we always come back to the old fashioned classic fish fry. The recipe is so simple yet so succulent, crispy and tasty everytime you have it either cooked by your mom or grandmom. This one is so easy that you cant go wrong! But use fresh fish, the taste of a good fish is the key to this recipe. i have used the Pink perch or shankara fish as known in Tamil Nadu. I love this fish in particular. it has a lot of thorns, but amazingly tasty. Has the nativity in taste unlike the seer fish which has no thorns and somewhat tastes bland for me. My hubby likes to eat only fishes which doesnt have thorns, but I made him have this and he ll never regret :) As I always say, "No pain No gain".

Pudina Chicken Gravy - Juicy and tasty chicken in mint curry, goes well with rice and roti

3/14/2015

I don't think I need to describe this gravy, the picture says it all. I wanted to make a green chicken curry which goes well with roti/chapathi and rice too. I had Spinach/Palak, Methi/Fenugreek leaves, Coriander and Mint/Pudina leaves in stock. I was just choosing randomly the greens to use in the curry for the day. Somehow the mint bunch was so attractive, that I decided to go with it. It definitely was a good choice and yummiest gravy I have made. So here goes the recipe:

Varutharacha Meen/ Fish Curry - Meen Kozhambu

Varutharacha Meen Kozhambu/ Fish Curry with Coconut
Since I'm basically from Chennai, I always love fishes and other seafood varieties. Even when I'm writing this, I'm drooling for my mother's fish curry and fish fry. But I never learnt to know the different types of fishes my mom cooks... I just Vanjaram (Sheer fish), Shankara (Red Snapper), Sura (Shark) and there ends my fish knowledge!! Same goes with different Greens available here!!

Usually my fish curry is pretty simple with small onions, garlic and tomato, in a tamarind base curry. Its simple and tasty, but I wanted to try something different. Make the curry a little thick and try to bring in the authentic Kerala taste with coconut and other spices. So I landed in this recipe of roasting and grinding spices with coconut to make this gravy. It's almost similar to my masala used for Chicken gravy if you have tried it.

As you can see in the picture, I made it with our regular fish fry, which is always yummy :P    Recipe coming next!!

Chettinadu Chicken Curry Recipe - for Idli/Dosa/Chappathi/Rice

I'm Back to posting recipes after a long time. Infact back to actual cooking... ;) I ve been enjoying quite a long time, travelling, eating out all kind of cuisines in US. I even tried red lobsters, crab meat.... :) 
Now I'm busy trying to fit in my new job. 

After this trip, our food habits have also changed a bit. We like a lot of salads, fries, nuts, coke, granola bars, hazelnut latte from starbucks, lots of chicken, burgers, pizzas, cheese, mayo, ranch sauce.....!! 
Out pf all this junk, the good thing is that I'm inspired to try out different cuisines at home. 

So let's move on to today's recipe. When my husband landed back in India, I wanted to cook something he really loves for breakfast and he surely would have missed it in US. I decided to make hot Idlis with our famous Chettinad chicken curry. 

The specialty of Chettinadu curry is choosing the perfect quantity & roasting and grinding the masala items. But trust me it's easy and worth the time it takes to roast and grind (which is just 10 mins)

Andhra style Chicken Biriyani
I usually try my mom's proven recipe for biriyani all these years. It's totally south indian and lip smacking recipe.. but I'm not talking about that one now. I would share that recipe on a another post. But this time I tried a different way to make chicken biriyani... and it ended as exactly I wanted it to be!! We love Andhra style biriyani served in Nagarjuna Hotel in Bangalore.... (not the Hyderabadi style). This is similar to south indian style, but more of green chillies. I tried a combination on my own to mimic the Nagarjuna Biriyani... and yayyyyyy I won it!! Sandy loved it to the core!! Now let's look into the recipe:
