Let’s indulge in a Burmese dish, Khow Suey… I’ve never dined in a Burmese restaurant nor had a chance to taste any of their dishes, this explains my ignorance about Burmese cuisine all these years. The other day, while surfing the net I happened to read about Burmese cuisine and my curiosity led me to try a popular Burmese chicken noodle dish in...
The taste of this pasta dish will linger in your mouth for many hours… I’ve always been a pasta lover as pasta dishes usually don’t demand any ingredients out of the ordinary. Any veggie or meat in the refrigerator would work and any herbs in the pantry would go well with pasta. If I don’t have any of these, then a simple tomato sauce topped...
I love to eat hot dog this way, quite weird, huh? I’ve tried many times to eat hot dogs in the traditional way: after grilling or just microwaving it and placed in a bun topped with mustard/ketchup etc, but in vain I couldn’t just devour it. Hence I had to find a different way to make myself like hot dogs. Now, this is how I eat hot dogs, after mixing...
Fish curry and Tapioca, without any doubt a true delicacy of Kerala cuisine… Since my last post was kerala style fish curry, this post gotta be Kappa Puzhukku or Tapioca in ground coconut. For the first time, I wasn’t perplexed about what to post next. One of the authentic Kerala dishes has been Kappa and Meen curry (Tapioca or yuca root and fish curry),...
Finally I made mani puttu, and I stuffed it with tuna roast… I’ve already blogged about Puttu, Kerala’s famous breakfast dish. Well, if you travel down south in Kerala to Malabar, you will come across mani puttu being served there. Mani puttu is often served in my dad’s family for breakfast or dinner, especially at my aunt’s house (dad’s...
Finally, my quest for restaurant style stir fried noodles came to an end… I swear, this is the best stir fried noodles that I made in my kitchen. Whenever I eat noodles from any Asian restaurants I always wished if I could make such tasting noodles at home. And I kept wishing for many years. A few weeks ago I had curry chicken and vegetable noodles for lunch...
Delicious beef stew in rich coconut gravy, it’s finger linking good… While thinking about Easter dishes, I saw Appam and Beef Stew lined in front of me. In Kerala, these are the two main dishes served for breakfast on Easter day. Appam has been the top favorite breakfast dish of almost all Keralites. Those who have had stew might know that it tastes delicious...
When scallops got a restaurant style makeover… If I see scallops on the menu while dining in any restaurant, I would literally ignore all the other dishes. I love scallops and adore the tender and rich meat it has. I have had scallops many times at many restaurants, since then I’ve been wanting to cook scallops in my kitchen. Last weekend, I bought fresh...
I get mesmerized by the aroma and flavor of this dish… I love anything that is deep fried in oil, but I don’t dare to make it and to have it all the time. So, to get the fried taste without adding much oil, I stir fry the meat till it turns brown in little oil. Especially with beef I do this. This time, I first cooked the beef with all the spices, then...
No Kidding! I love King fish biryani more than chicken or mutton biryani… First, let’s talk a bit about King fish as it is quite unheard of in North America. King fish is a sea fish that is found in the Indian ocean and is very popular in Southern India. I personally think it is the most tastiest fish. It is an expensive fish and is often served in many...
