Mutton Varuval Curry / Mutton Fry curry

Hi Friends,

This is a very popular and a traditional dish from Indian cuisine . I got this authentic recipe of course from my mom who is a great cook to me.My mom prepares this curry in a kadai (i.e,not using pressure cooker) that was so great.The mutton we get in my moms place is so soft and cooks soon.But without cooker I can’t make this as the mutton I am getting here in my place is so hard and will take hours when I cook in a kadai.I love to toss some hot rice in  the  masala leftover in the pan.That tastes awesome.  This hot dish goes well with steamed rice or rotis or with any type of Indian flatbreads or with pulao rice.We loved this so much and try it , definitely you too will love it…

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…

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…
