Its not that complicated, fresh fish (skin-on, bone-in fillets), hint of salt and chili powder, dash of turmeric and tamarind pulp…and a good quality coconut oil for frying. To garnish, I chose…a spring of curry leaves. Viola that’s my magic. On […]

Seafood platter is one of my favorite party idea. It has been successful in pleasing the crowd! With little planning and effort, one can make a memorable gathering. When most of us are gravitating towards Biriyanis and Naan bread, its kind of tread setter! I thrive to stand out from the crowd…by simply choosing the […]

First of all ‘Burger’ is not for the faint heart, weak, vegetarian Indians! The very sound of the word Cheese Burger (a.k.a) Ham Burger is so unorthodox to many!! And, of course…we Desis (Indians…the East Indians, I mean) have invented a quite a number of options for ourselves! The meat is carefully replaced with aloo tikkis (potato […]
