Chayote Squash Curry
July 31st, 2008Do you like Beetroot? I didn’t for a greater part of my life. Amma had never somehow prepared this much at home. Well I have actually never asked the reasons. But since I never eat this growing up, continued so when I had my own kitchen.After Konda came into picture, we have been trying to include most of the vegetables. Though this again played no part in our list. All those were the days, before Athamma came to live with us.
One day, when I couldn’t get back home early to cook the dinner, she said she will prepare something. I didn’t really ask what she had in mind.When I reached home, I was quite curious to know what she had prepared. On starting at the bowl, I was shocked to find something RED, staring back at me. Now I can’t actually shout my top out to ask why she made it right. So very coolly asked her, what’s in the bowl. Well she is a cool lady you know, so she said since she couldn’t find anything interesting in fridge for dinner, she got Beetroot. So she decided t…

Chicken and Cashew Curry
July 28th, 2008Sure, you could go out and buy curry paste. You can, and it’s not bad. Sometimes it’s even pretty good, if you’ve got a decent Indian or Thai market nearby. We recently scoured the Little India neighborhood in Queens and couldn’t find what we were looking for, and it’s hard to find in the large Chinatown markets, too. So of course what does he do? He decides to make his own! This is the man who makes homemade pickles and mustard for me, so I shouldn’t have been surprised by today’s task….but it still amazed me. Again I say, for the Nth time: I’m a lucky girl.
This morning, our trip to Chinatown yielded a couple of very nice codfish steaks that just cried out to be smothered in a sumptuous curry sauce. He provides the recipe for the sauce - starting with the homemade curry paste - after …
DIY red curry paste!
July 27th, 2008The morning was quite chill and it only had me snuggling against the twins again. I was already late and I had to get things ready for Konda. She was leaving early to school as she is participating in a program, where is the angel. Amma bought her a grown more than a year back, which looks more like a bridal dress, but if we remove the head gear, it can looks like an angel dress. Which lead Konda complaining that the wings were not there to make it a perfect angel get up. Whoever said angels should have wings! I told my little one that all angels need not have wings, they come in different forms. And to top all, her teacher asked her to get a magic wand and a crown.
Seriously, I wouldn’t know where all these things might be sold. When we had visited Calcutta, she had got a crown, two wands. Both the wands had long disappeared. This crown somehow stood the test of time. And that got broken just yesterday when she had it in her bag. So we spent some time late night trying to s…
Plantain or Raw Banana Kofta Curry ~ Curry Mela!
July 25th, 2008It was a sunny Sunday morning. I was up all early and not sure what to do. Of course, I have a dear space where I can relax and talk about what goes in our parts of the wood. But somehow I wasn’t up to staring at the screen so early. So sat out with a cuppa of coffee and wondering how the day is going to pass. With Hubby dear not around, we don’t usually plan for cooking anything. Kids were still sleeping and I remembered that I didn’t remember to soak the channa for the poori, which is our customary Sunday breakfast.
When I got inside, I saw Athamma all ready and up. Yeah, she has the task of making Sunday Neivethyam, so she was all bathed and had things cooking on the stove! When asked what’s cooking, she said she had the Moong Dal in cooker. I feel sorry for her, gone are those days when she used to relax on Sundays. Now since they got into the habit of pooja on Sunday morning, she has to be all ready early morning and on top, decide what to prepare for Neivethyam. Since …

Coconut Masala Curry with Smoked Fish
July 17th, 2008Curry puff is a famous snack which is of Malay origin. It is a small pie consisting of specialised curry with chicken and potatoes in a deep-fried pastry shell. The curry is quite thick to prevent it from oozing out of the snack. I love spiral curry puff texture and designS.piral pastry dough is more flaky and crispy compare with the regular doughy skin.I understand it’s take some skill to master the flaky dough especially when it’s look like spiral.I only know how to make regular curry puff pastry dough and it’s nothing to shout about!.So far I can just admire the expert who make spiral curry pastry puff.I decided to try my hands for the first time for this special dough.I bought a recipe book by Pastie Cheong from Malaysia but my problem is I don’t understand the gram measurement.I only know how to measure from cup ,teaspoon and ounce.Furthermore my weight scale is in ounce not gram!!..So I created my own recipe , of course it’s turn out differently .Not a spiral…

This post will be a bit of a surprise on this blog since it is a vegetarian blog! But then, we are ovo-lacto-vegetarians. I refuse to get into discussions about how could I be vegetarian if I eat eggs!!
The fact of the matter is that though we eat eggs occasionally, I am always happy to see a cake, cookie or bread recipe without eggs. That said, this particular dish is a bit of an exception. While I don’t make it very often, we like this egg curry (though my daughter will pick out the yellow and keep it aside). It must be the coconut milk that goes into the curry.
