My Facebook followers will remember my post showing you pictures of delicious curries/entrées good enough for entertaining this Holiday season. This shrimp roast is an easy to make, lip-smacking recipe from dear mom. She makes it when a simple shrimp/prawn curry or shrimp fry won’t do. It can be tricky to infuse a lot of…
Paneer Kofta Korma {Indian Cottage Cheese Balls In A Delicate Yogurt Sauce}
Winters are when I am at my lethargic worst. But the colder weather requires substantial sustenance too. That is when you go for the rich and filling curries and korma fits the bill perfectly. Depending on where you come from, korma can mean different things. What we call korma in South India tend to be…
Chicken Tikka Kebabs And Chicken Tikka Masala
Chicken tikka masala is as Indian and as non-Indian you can get at the same time. Developed originally in Britain to satisfy the population’s craving for mild curry, tikka masala holds a prominent place in Indian restaurants around the world. Its beauty lies in the fact that it is quite easy to prepare at home…
Restaurant Style Kadai Fish Or Fish Karahi
A kadai or karahi is a metal cooking pot similar to a wok, but with a flatter bottom and steeper sides. It is widely used in and around India to cook both vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes. The non-vegetarian version is usually made with chicken, lamb or fish and is extremely popular in almost every Indian…
Kongunadu Chicken {Country Style Spicy Chicken}
This is my go-to chicken recipe, especially when I am hard-pressed for time and require something easy yet flavorful. It is also one of the few recipes I’ve tried and absolutely loved from a cookery show on television. I don’t remember the exact name of this particular dish. Maybe it doesn’t have one since it…
Spicy & Tangy Kerala Fish Curry (Fish In Tamarind & Coconut Milk Sauce)
Coming from a part of India teeming with fresh catch from the sea throughout the year, we were initially appalled at the lackluster selection of fresh seafood in our Texan city. Obviously it has something to do with the place being land-locked and the nearest fishing harbor being a few hundred miles from here. So…
Tofu In A Chili-Garlic Sauce {Served Over Crispy Noodles}
I just love Chinese, not the sweet American-Chinese (which is just weird, IMO), but the spicy Chinese and Indo-Chinese cuisine. I’ve also come to love tofu over the past year. The best tofu I’ve had was at a local Chinese restaurant. They thankfully do not serve sweet chicken or tofu. I love their pot-stickers, dumplings…
Chicken Kofta Curry (Meatballs In A Delicate Indian Curry)
Kofta/kofte are fried meat or vegetable balls which are then dunked in a smooth tomato based curry/sauce. I am pretty sure I don’t need to “sell” this recipe to you. Meatballs are comfort food in any cuisine all over the world, right? If you are making vegetable kofta, boiled and mashed potatoes would be the…
Easy Chicken Curry With Coconut Milk
It is no secret that I am a big fan of coconut milk. And also chicken. Whenever I tire of the fiery hot chili or black pepper based chicken curries, I turn to coconut milk for relief. This curry is not exactly the popular Keralan chicken stew, but close. This is somewhat a twisted creation,…
Wholesome Indian Meal {Aloo-Palak Paratha, Palak Dal & Quick Aam Achar}
This is a jumbo post that has not one or two, but three delicious recipes. All three work together to make a wholesome and delicious Indian meal, packed with both nutrients and flavor. It all started with a big bunch of fresh spinach that I got on my last grocery shopping trip. I knew right…
Thai Massaman Curry {With Mushroom, Peppers, Eggplant & Paneer}
On his way home, the mister bought some mushrooms, deposited them on the kitchen counter and announced that (a) he would like them cooked without onions, and (b) in curry form. Gasp! That is enough to put most Indian wives in panic mode. What does he really want? I could always use grated onions or…
