Avial (Aviyal/Kerala Mixed Vegetable Curry)
If you have been to a traditional Kerala feast (Sadya), at a wedding, a ceremony, or a festival like Onam, you would have definitely come across and tasted Avial (Aviyal), served alongside twenty or more other vegetarian dishes, and felt amazed how elegantly it stood out as the hero on the plate (or the plantain leaf in truly traditional instances).
Mushroom and Spinach with Burnt Garlic
I have been asked why my posts are always about chicken, meat, fish or seafood. They ask “Do you not eat (or cook) any vegetables?”. The answer is “yes, I do.” In fact, while growing up, for every meal, my mom used to serve two vegetable based curries. Even now, we have at least one vegetable dish included in our lunch and dinner meals. But, for me, the “hero” in all those meals has been the protein, which is the aforesaid chicken, meat or fish. That’s why I almost, always, post these “hero” recipes.
Coriander Fried Chicken
This is not a typical batter fried chicken. This is not a typical Indian chicken fry either! Enough of all the negativity. It takes less than 45 minutes from reading this recipe to serving some great food – try this recipe, and cook some amazing fried chicken. Crispy on the outside, tender and juicy inside – this fried chicken ticks all the boxes! By the way, the name comes from the coriander powder used in the marinade.
Spicy Egg and Lettuce Wrap
Easy to make, a nice balance of healthy protein and veggies, this wrap is an ideal snack when you are hungry. You must chegg it out!
Passion Fruit and Mango Fool
Fruit fool is a classic English dessert, and probably one of the easiest to make. This recipe has a twist – we are replacing whipped cream seen in the traditional recipes with low fat yogurt making it not just tasty and refreshing, but healthy as well. This four ingredient dessert is a real treat for this mango season!
