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!

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. ...

Inji curry - Ginger curry pickle

Inji curry is one among the dish in any Kerala Sadya spread and it is called with a name " nooru kootan" in malayalam to give the impression of impact of this dish. It means equivalent to 100 curries. You can see this man in every sadya holding the first place in the plantain leaf and is served first in the leaf based on some belief I guess. I m a big fan of Kerala sadya, of course a foodie like me loves every food and how can I miss our own Sadya, which is supposed to be the biggest spread in terms of number of side dishes and rounds it carries. A few things to make you understand about the rounds of sadya; I m from the south part of Kerala, Trivandrum which is the most famous place for veggie sadya in plantain leaf. The Sadya here consists of at least 20 side dishes in on side of leaf with Pappad, chips, fried chilly, and one side is reserved for the rounds of rice. First round of rice starts with moong dal curry and ghee. Yet another specialty of Trivandrum is this ...

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.
