Gramathu Kozhi Kulambu / Village Style Chicken Curry

This is a very aromatic Chicken Kulambu / Curry made with fresh ingredients.Before days people used to make curries with freshly ground ingredients.Now-a-days too in villages some of them use fresh masalas.I still remember whenever we visited my aunts place in my childhood she will make chicken kulambu with freshly grounded masala that too made using hands.(i.e) using ammikkal.

 

This curry is my family favourite.The ginger garlic paste  and the fresh masala added makes this curry so flavourful .No wonder it tastes delicious.We thoroughly enjoyed this curry .Give it a try  you too will love it. Lets see the preparation…

Chettinad Pepper Chicken/Milagu Kozhi Varuval

This is a spicy chicken recipe from a well known cuisine.You all heard about the Chettinad dishes and its very famous for its wonderful flavour and spiciness with freshly grounded masalas.This is a yummy dish turned out a big success in my home .I got this recipe from net but added some extra ingredients to make it more aromatic.The crushed pepper should be added at the end (i.e) only when the chicken is completely cooked to retain its flavour.I served this with Chicken Briyani .My family totally enjoyed this chicken dish and try it you too will enjoy the flavour.

 

 

Salmon Fish Fry / Meen Varuval

Hi friends,

Hope everyone had a great weekend.Today I am sharing one of my favourite dish.I am so fond of fish recipes.When I was a small girl if my mom make fish fry ,first I will pop into the kitchen and will start tasting.My dad  will buy only Viral meen ( butter fish ) those days as we find it more tastier than other fishes and my mom uses only simple ingredients (i.e) chilli powder, turmeric powder and salt for marination .That was really great in taste.

Once I happen to read a book that had a recipe note for this  Salmon fry in one of my neighbours house  and I loved that at first sight .From then whenever we buy salmon I used to prepare the same method.Thats a big hit in my family. And my kid loved it so much . Try this yummy fry you too will stick to this one.You can use any boneless fish for this fry ,Vajjiram meen/King fish suits perfectly.Lets go to the fish fry…
