    Tawa pulav looks so well done and love the bowl of raita you are serving as a side dish. I wish I had one of this big tawas they use in the north for these delicacies. They do turn out well in the regular pans but nothing like the pleasure of using those humongous tawas and pretending to look like those pro's by the carts :)!!!

    Pav bhaji spice seems to be very popular around the blogosphere lately. I must try it. And I think I'd like your tawa pulao better than pav bhaji, personally.

Kerala Chicken Cutlet- Chicken Potato Patties

Chicken Cutlet Are you looking for a delicious snack/ appetizer. Imagine a spicy chicken cutlet with piping hot tea-can you ever say no to this yummy tea time snack? Cutlet is one of my favorite snacks. It has an inducing smell and an absolute comfort food. It is often found in restaurants, local tea stalls, and canteens. Delicious cutlets can be made, with meat, fish, or vegetables. It is a party favorite and is served, as an appetizer or finger food. The breaded meat patties are deep-fried and are crunchy on the outside and with a soft filling. Eggs and bread crumbs help to attain the light crispy texture and allow it to hold its shape while frying. Use a combination of regular and panko bread crumbs for a light and crispy coating. They are the best comfort food and easy to make. It will be ready in under 30 minutes. It is a great time-saver, and the best part is that you can make the patties and store them in the freezer( without frying) for more than two weeks. The flavor...

It is not the traditional Korma where meat or vegetables are cooked in a rich yogurt and cream sauce.The base of this sauce is coconut and to add a rich creamy texture, I added a little of cashew nut and khus-khus/poppy seeds paste.  It taste very close to the Kerala fish molee and can be served with bread,appam or rice. Ingredients To marinate Fish cut into cubes- 1 lb (Here I have used King fish) Green chilly  paste- 1 tsp Ginger garlic paste- 1 tsp Turmeric powder- 1/3 tsp Lemon juice- 1/2 lemon Salt to taste For the gravy Onion - 2 medium Ginger- 1 inch thick Garlic- 4-5 pods Green chilly- 3 Coriander powder- 1 1/2 tsp Coconut - 3/4 cup Khus khus/poppy seeds- 3 tsp Cashew nuts-6-8 Pepper powder- 3/4 tsp Fennel seeds- 1 tsp Whole garam masala- cinnamon stick 1 inch, cardomon-2,cloves-4,star anise-1 Curry leaves - a few Coriander leaves to garnish Cut...
