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.

Ayala Pollichathu - Mackerel roast in plantain leaves

This is yet another traditional Kerala recipe, in which fish is roasted in plantain leaves. There is a two step process in cooking fish, first by shallow frying and then roasted inside a plantain leaf covered with masalas. So my experience with pollichathu was with Karimeen alone until this time, my favorite fish, which is called Pearl spot in English. All these while I haven't tried any other fish for this recipe. So let me tell you the story of how Ayala came into picture :D This happened on one fine day, my mom in law was telling me that the women who brings fish has brought lots of Mackerel and many other fishes and convinced her to buy a lot of them. So she was in a confusion on what will we do with all these, as weekend was almost going to finish and everyone of us moving to different places. And the same curry or fry would be boring and won't be appreciated by the men's league at home :D Then I went for helping her with the fish dilemma, she was having and

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

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.
