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 place and recreate the same. Coz I am so sure that only the origin can bring the authenticity especially in food and having a punjabi chole from Bangalore would be like dating someone from the site and marrying his distant relative 😁

I will keep posted on my travel food blogging experiences too 😊 So stay tuned!

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...

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...
