Prawns tangy stir fry

We are fish eaters, or better way to say is core non vegetarians.

Prawns are one among our loved sea foods, I think most of the fish lovers are obsessed with this, and I have seen even vegetarians who starts with fish tries Prawns as their first experience.

This is a tangy stir fry with Onions, Green bell peppers and tomatoes.

Ingredients:

Prawns, de-shelled, deveined and cleaned - 1 cup

Green bell peppers sliced - 1/2 cup

Onion sliced - 1/2 cup

Cumin seeds - 1 tsp

Spring onions chopped - 1 tbsp

Green chillies, slit - 2

Tomatoes pureed - 1/4 cup

Tomatoes chopped - 1 small

Lemon juice - 1 tbsp

Garlic chopped - 1 tbsp

Ginger Sliced - 1 inch

Tomato Ketchup- 1 tbsp

Soy sauce - 2 tsp

Oil for sautéing (I used coconut oil)

Masalas

Chilly powder - 1 tsp

Turmeric powder - 1/4 tsp

Garam Masala - 1/4 tsp

Salt to taste

Method:

In a pan pour coconut oil and sputter the cumin seeds. Add garlic and ginger and sauce for a minute. Add onions, green chillies and sauce till translucent, do not over cook. Now add bell peppers and sauce for 1 to 2 minutes. Add masalas and mix well, cook until masalas raw smell is gone. Add prawns, tomatoes and cook until done. Prawns should not be over cooked, so no need to add water. The water from prawns is enough to cook it through. Once half cooked add tomato paste and tomato ketchup, soy sauce and cook till done. Add lemon juice and mix well. Serve hot.

I served it with home made Dosa. Side it up with Raw veggies and hummus. A smoothie for final touch up :)

This can be paired with Appam, Puttu, Oratti or even boiled rice. This goes well with all of those.

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

Grilled Chicken in Quinoa Tortilla wrap

Healthy meal preparation is so satisfying, as we know we are feeding our loved ones with clean food. When I say clean food it does mean, non processed, with balanced nutrients, and not in expense of the taste. These healthy tortilla wraps are so yummy that you will not even imagine it has so many hidden good stuffs in it. I am like my mom, she is too smart to hide the good stuffs in whatever she prepares and we will not even know what we just ate had something which we hate if given in its form. Now I have acquired that smartness too and just few days back I prepared an Avocado Mango smoothie for one of my colleague and she told, "I hate Avocados! My mom would be surprised if she comes to know that I had Avocado. But how yummy your smoothie is ! " I was glad that I could make someone eat a healthy thing which they hated ever, and my hiding skills worked out. The same lady was fooled by my papaya halwa, she is a papaya hater too :P Fooling people is good som
