Did I ever mention, how much I like Kerala dishes. In my opinion they have wide range of varieties than many other states (and I could be wrong too, I haven’t dined in so many states of India…after all). Anyhoo. The stew (Ishtu) is so very mild and aromatic, its completely devoid of chili powder […]

I have got this weird idea of pairing the meat with whatever vegetables I come across! My hands can never repeat the item I have experimented, twice in a row!! So, there is no predictability in my kitchen! Absolutely…off the hook!!! However, there are some occasions, I go by the plan, you see! Do, follow […]
As much as I love to play with ingredients and act as a professional butcher. There are few things that would completely gross me out! Oh yeah…I really shy away from weird sea creatures! Well, I do have a valid reason for that! As a Biotechnologist, I have had enough encounters in the past, with […]

The creamy rich Rogan Josh is an ultimate comfort food. I love curling up on the couch with a hot bowl of dinner. And, the leftovers are great for the next day’s lunch. Slow cooking the meat until tender is one of my favorite method of preparing them. If you are in a hurry, you […]
