My Favorite Kitchen Things - Farberware Peeler

I am a absolute shopping junkie, specially when it comes to kitchen stuffs and food products. I collect all sorts of stuffs and mount it in my kitchen. Certain stuffs in my kitchen are yet to be used. Hubby and I go food shopping together, we used to buy whole bunch of products when it is on sale. Yesterday when we are shopping we found extra virgin olive oil on deal, It is a buy one get one offer, Aha we found a awesome deal. Guess what we bought  4 bottle, each a liter capacity for around 25 dollars( 1400 Rs). It was such a amazing deal. Now I can cook lots of pastas and italian foods…

சால மீன் வறுவல் / Sardine Fish Fry (Mathi / Chala Fry)

Frankly speaking I could never get a perfect  recipe for frying sardine fish. I know frying fish is one of the simplest thing you could ever imagine. But each and everytime I make it, I find it is lacking something. Sometimes I find it very bland, sometimes it gets stuck to the pan and fall apart. But this was the time I got it perfect. The fish turned out perfectly cooked, and had full of flavour. Everything came together beautifully.

Chicken Liver Masala Fry / Dry Masala Coated Chicken Liver

Chicker liver is hubby's favorite, I am not so fond of it. But he loves it more than anything else. Even in the chicken curry which I make, he looks for that liver piece. So I thought to make a simple dish with his favorite ingredients. And guess what he loved it a lot. 

Andhra Puliyogare ( Pulihora/Puliyodharai) / Andhra Tamarind Rice

Andhra is known for spicy foods, so think about their style of making puliyogare and stuffs like that.

The meal came together in less than 30 mins. I served it with papad and pickle.

Aloo Channa Curry / Potatoes & Chickpeas Cooked in a Spicy Sauce

Channa & Potatoes are such a lovely combination to cook with. They make awesome curries when cooked, because they both have the tendency to absorb the flavours which you add in. I already have a dry version of aloo channa in my blog, this is a gravy version of it which I make very often at home. You can serve this with roti, parotas or rice. Hope you will enjoy it.

நேந்திரம் பழம் பாயசம் / Nendrapazham Pradhaman (Payasam) / Ripe Plantain Kheer- Onam Special Recipes

Amma used to give us steamed bananas when we were little. Whenever she makes puttu, she will add cut bananas along with the coconut inside the steamer and cook it. We used to fight for that steamed banana pieces.  Specially the ripe plantain(a variety of banana) which gets more tasty when it is steamed. They are not only tasty but so healthy. I have heard that they mash up steamed banana and feed toddlers. This makes them chubby and healthy.
