Chicken and Cottage cheese coriander steak with roasted veggies

My family is pure meat eaters. They can start eating meat right from the bed, from breakfast to dinner. We are even much crazy sometimes when we go out late night and hog on meats from fast foods open through out the night and mobile food vans. I wonder how our digestive system would be cursing us for it, but looks like it is in our Mallu genes to take care of that :D

Yes this is Kerala, where everyone knows a Malayali can get a meat cravings attack anytime...yes anytime :)

My boys had a heavy lunch from outside (without me), yeah that happens too when 2 of them ditch me and gang up. I unaware of all facts thought to prepare a full protein exciting dish for them, put together this, all meaty, veggie, dairy extravaganza. They were planning to skip the dinner, and I was upset about it thinking through my effort. 

But I had faith in my dish and also the Mallu blood, which can jump on this when they see it out from oven. And I would say, it was literally JUMPING on it. I had to secretly save my share of chicken, otherwise would have gone!

Anyways I am happy when others enjoy my food, so my effort did not go waste. The whole thing was finished by 3 of us in just a matter of 30 minutes. 

So over to recipe now. It is such a simple one to put together, and this will make sure you get your daily dose of protein, fiber and what else you want...yeah I know taste buds. They will thank you for this :)

Oats chocolate chip cookies with peanuts

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. And the first bite right from oven almost burnt his mouth 😁 The outcome was so rewarding for the eyes and the taste buds. I dont think anyone can go wrong with this recipe.  So diving into the recipe, without more story telling.  Ingredients: All purpose flour/Whole wheat flour - 1 cup Oats flakes - rolled oats - 1/4 cup Cocoa powder - 1/4 cup Butter-1/4 cup Sugar brown - 1/2 cup packed Salt -1/4 tsp Baking powder- 1 tsp Egg - 1  Vanilla essence - 1 tsp Milk - 1 to 2 tbsp or to make a cookie dough  Method: Whisk together dry ingredients and keep aside  Whip butter and sugar until pale and fluffy.  Add egg and vanilla essence and mix.

Pidiyum Tharavu Mappasum - Rice dumplings and Duck curry in coconut milk

My Christmas 2017 was based on traditional dishes of Kerala. You would be very familiar with the name Pidiyum Kozhiyum, which is of course one of the favorites at my home. This time I thought, let me make some difference in usual culture and thought to accompany Pidi with Tharavu mappas, which is Duck curry in coconut milk. Duck is my favorite too, and Duck items would be in my Christmas spread always. I started the day with Duck stew, which is another authentic dish of Kerala. Of course again, coconut milk, coz as Mallus we just go on lavish with Coconut milk :D This recipe is common in Christian families and a breakfast item. I being a Hindu has explored these things after my marriage, where I had a big kitchen for experimenting my things. Indeed to say, that was my experimentation lab which has gained me confidence to cook and take my passion along the way, and of course my audience has changed now, their count is more and the youngsters are ready to try out all new researches. ...

Introducing me, as a food blogger!

Hello ... I am taking this opportunity to introduce myself as a food blogger. I am not new to this place; most of my friends know me as a random blogger and I am pretty much active here. This time, I am starting on a blog focussed on food. I am a passionate cook who loves to experiment a lot in food, and I appreciate and embrace almost all cuisines world wide. I am already representing a food site with my tested recipes in Facebook, but because there is no option to search for my recipes, I am sharing it here. I want all my readers to have easy access and my recipes handy 😊 As you can see, I am passionate about many things other than cooking, but cooking is something which always gives me pleasure. Cooking is my stress reliever, as one of my friend used to advice me, "Go bake a cake, you will be Alright"! I am not yet sure to call myself as a food blogger, as I think there are ton of things yet to be learned and experienced as a cook and each day is a new learning...
