Burmese Khow Suey (Curried Noodle Soup)
If something can be called a bowl of happiness, this could well be it. Khow Suey is a delicious noodle dish from Burma made with egg noodles, curried chicken and coconut milk. Served with a variety of condiments, each spoon full of soup you eat will be bursting with flavours! Khow Suey is probably the first thing that comes to mind when you think about Burmese cuisine. 
Mushroom and Spinach with Burnt Garlic
I have been asked why my posts are always about chicken, meat, fish or seafood. They ask “Do you not eat (or cook) any vegetables?”. The answer is “yes, I do.” In fact, while growing up, for every meal, my mom used to serve two vegetable based curries. Even now, we have at least one vegetable dish included in our lunch and dinner meals. But, for me, the “hero” in all those meals has been the protein, which is the aforesaid chicken, meat or fish. That’s why I almost, always, post these “hero” recipes.
Coriander Fried Chicken
This is not a typical batter fried chicken. This is not a typical Indian chicken fry either! Enough of all the negativity. It takes less than 45 minutes from reading this recipe to serving some great food – try this recipe, and cook some amazing fried chicken. Crispy on the outside, tender and juicy inside – this fried chicken ticks all the boxes! By the way, the name comes from the coriander powder used in the marinade.
Kerala Mixture (Chivda)
Spicy Mixture – This humble snack, in its various avatars, is a popular, omnipresent item in all bakeries and hot chips shops across Kerala. When you have guests at home for tea, the spread is not complete without a serving of mixture. Despite being a big fan of the mixture, I had never thought that one day I’ll make this at home.
You can also make this at home. No additives, no preservatives, and no reused oil! Just a tasty, crispy snack!
Erachi Choru (Meat Rice Kerala Style)
Erachi Choru is a traditional meat and rice recipe from the Malabar region of Kerala. Made with all the great spices of Malabar, and flavorful coconut oil, it is the taste and love of Kerala in a plate. For me, this recipe started from an insatiable craving for Biriyani, my favourite rice dish on a Sunday afternoon. It was a lazy weekend, and I didn’t have the patience or time to cook a proper biriyani. Nevertheless, the craving to devour some rice and meat cooked with spices was not just going away. Just before I was about to order a…
Spicy Egg and Lettuce Wrap
Easy to make, a nice balance of healthy protein and veggies, this wrap is an ideal snack when you are hungry. You must chegg it out!
Homemade Chicken Curry – Kerala Style
This Kerala Chicken Curry (Nadan Chicken Curry) is from my granma’s kitchen. An all-time family favourite, I learned this heirloom recipe from my mom.
Passion Fruit and Mango Fool
Fruit fool is a classic English dessert, and probably one of the easiest to make. This recipe has a twist – we are replacing whipped cream seen in the traditional recipes with low fat yogurt making it not just tasty and refreshing, but healthy as well. This four ingredient dessert is a real treat for this mango season!
Ivy Gourd Stir Fry
Ivy Gourd, also known as Tindora or baby watermelon, is a tropical plant which grows as a vine. It is a popular ingredient in Indian, Malaysian and Thai recipes.
This is an ideal summer recipe – requires you to spend very less time in kitchen, without compromising on taste!
Place one or two parottas on a plate. Pour a generous helping of chicken salna on the side. Let the curry slowly trickle into the crispy, flaky parotta. When they meet, there is magic! Tear a piece of parotta soaked in the salna and put it in your mouth. Gently chew and feel all the textures - The crispiness of the outer layers. The slightly soggy bit with the salna. This is street food at its best. This is an improved version of the chicken salna I had posted before. I thought this would be a good one to resume here.
. This chicken salna recipe, like many other popular recipes on this blog, is from a mom's kitchen. I got this recipe from my cousin. He sourced it from a friend who got it from his mom. This chicken salna recipe will help you cook your favourite street food in the comfort of your kitchen.

Think of potato podimas as a flavourful Indian version of mashed potatoes cooked with a seasoning of mustard seeds, urad dal, and curry leaves.
. Imagine the fragrance when mustard seeds, urad dal, and fresh curry leaves are tempered in oil. Now add mashed potatoes to the pan. The smooth, creamy mashed potatoes will absorb all the great flavours. That, my friends, is the story of any good potato podimas!
. There is nothing pretentious about potato podimas! It is a simple preparation with some basic ingredients. For an Indian recipe, it requires very few spices. Potato podimas is probably a South Indian rendition of the classic mashed potatoes. But it is quintessentially Indian and a delicious dish that you can put together without any effort.
