Egg biryani

Biriyani - The most rated and loved dish in India. Be it north or south, biriyani fan club chain is impossible to break. Now I am going to expose one secret about me and Biriyani. I know once I reveal, there would be a lot of haters for me, but this is just my personal opinion and I am all in support for all its supporters. So the thing is growing up, the name of biriyani was like a hype which hit me, and I remember craving for biriyani back then. I used to think, oh man; who discovered this wonderful dish. But lately, I think I lost the love for biriyani, not only biriyani but sort of all Arabic food. I am not a big fan of arabic cuisine, even though the foodie in me can eat any food and respect and appreciate every cuisine; for some reason the ingredients of Arabic cuisine is not going well with my taste palette as well as tummy. But I m a big supporter of food lovers, and having the core fans of Arabic food at home, I have to prepare, but I love preparing as well. Coz for me what

This is the the richest cookie I have ever made.  It is loaded with all that i love, peanuts and chocolate in whatever form it can exist. When it was baking in the oven my little cat was making a visit to the oven multiple times to check it's done.

Sweet potato noodle soup authentic Japanese way

The dish that made me feel so proud about myself. Sweet potato noodle soup prepared in authentic Japanese way, from the scratch. I really felt like a 5 ⭐️ chef 👩‍🍳 today . Such a comforting food for a gloomy cold day. Finally the art of assembling was so satisfying and then diving to the soup bowl 🍲  I used chopsticks 🥢 to maintain the authentic Japanese way 🥰 Topped with fish filets pan roasted 🐟  #sweetpotatonoodlessoup The ingredient list would be a little overwhelming as everything is made from scratch, but these are worth to be stocked as these are base for most of any Asian cuisine. I prepared a veggie stock, some of my favourite veggies blanched and fish as topping. So let’s start prepping the ingredients for our noodle soup.  Noodles   I used sweet potato noodles - 70 gms which when cooked would be around 3/4 to 1 cup Water for boiling - 3 cups  Veggies   Cut the veggies julienned  I used radish, onion, spring onion, celery, g

Grocery haul story of a food blogger 😋

My new grocery store. First online order and should say satisfaction level is average. In context of freshnessi will give a 4 star ⭐️ on 5. But became average as some of items were out of stock and came to know while they delivered. Also slot timings was a bit shaky than my old grocery partner. Should try more and see how it goes. I thought to switch the grocery shop as lately my ever time favorite bigbasket was not keeping well with their quality and quantity. I have seen few instances of quantity mismatches and also quality is fruits and veggies going down. Will find anyways who is better and stick on to it. I would say one thing that for packaged goods you can still go with bigbasket as the discounts are better there. I liked the wide variety of breads in nature’s basket though and also meat items which apparently was out of stock but more options were available. Also the delivery boy mentioned that I can directly place orders with store calling customer care and delivery

Sweet potato noodles: You Ji Shi Pin 😁

I got this from a nearby store and was very impressed to see world cuisine ingredients being so popular in India. This shows how much we Indians respect  other traditions and world culinary. We are always experimental about variety of things and eager to learn and try new things. Our taste buds are also so receptive to new flavors. Another thing I noticed is this is imported and marketed from my home land Kerala and also the store was a Malayali owned one. We mallus are so famous on our skills to adjust with variety. The saying is so popular! “lokath evide chenalum oru malayali ye engilum kanan patum “ ; Translation: “you can find atleast a malayali where ever you go around the world “ 😂 Being a food blogger or rather I should say “food being my religion “. , i love to experiment different cuisines and try to make myself to see how it turns out.  This is next in my kitchen lab test list 😁 I love to even travel to places to eat the real authentic dishes of a particular p
