Happy Independence Day

India is celebrating 66th Independence Day.
Wishing all my friends and readers Happy Independence Day!

On this occasion I salute all those great men and women of India who cherished,dreamed, visualized and dared to act!
I salute all those who were the first to lead the movement and all those who followed their lead.
I salute the father who inspired his sons and daughters to follow his footsteps of sacrifice and courage.
I salute the mother who cheerfully sacrificed sons and daughters knowing very well that she will have to spent the rest of her life in misery and loneliness.
I salute those who left lucrative post,titles and kingdoms and all those men and women who gave their daily wages knowing well that their kids will have to remain hungry.
I salute all those men who marched peacefully with leaders in large groups during the day time but many times had to spent painful nights suffering and lonely in prisons.Their agony was unknown, their wounds unattended,their stories were never written down, but they still dared to dream,not for themselves but for the millions of their future generation.

All their cherished dreams and visions became a reality on 15 August 1947 or at least let's say that their dream for a free India became a reality.

Happy Independence Day!

Nadan Mutton Curry/ Kerala Mutton Curry

Nadan Mutton curry Nadan mutton curry is deliciously spicy and a much-coveted dish in restaurants and eateries in Kerala. This luscious flavored mutton curry has the deep essence of Kerala cooking, with aromatic spices and coconut abundantly available in the state. If you wish for some spicy non vegetarian weekend meal, here is one to relish. This curry is magical, with few ingredients, but with great flavors. For me, it is a homey dish that my family adores. It tastes divine with Kerala parottas or with soft lacy appam, you can also serve this steamed rice, puttu, or chapati. Naadan mutton curry is easy to make. What makes this dish flavorful and inviting is the flavor of fresh ground masala, coconut oil, and the fresh taste of curry leaves. In this recipe, I have also added mint. I love adding fried mint in my homemade mutton curry just like my mom( but it is optional). There are chilies- lots of them for a fiery look, and I prefer Kashmiri chilly, which has color and les...
