Bread Upma



Bread Upma

Simple upma to use up all left over bread and  can be made in a jiffy. For me this is a quick snack,but you can serve it as breakfast.You can add any chopped vegetables to make it colorful and healthy. I had some left over minced stir fried chicken so I added that too.So it is that simple,all leftovers tossed together to make a quick delicious snack/brunch.

Ingredients
Bread- 8 slices
Onion- 1 medium
Ginger garlic paste- 1/2 tsp
Cashew nuts- 6-8
Tomato sauce- 11/2 tsp
Vegetables of your choice- 1/2 cup
(here I used green peas, crumbled potatoes
and left over mined chicken)
Turmeric powder- a pinch
Chilly powder- 1/3 tsp
Garam Masala- 1/3 tsp
Chopped coriander- a little
Lemon juice- a few drops
salt to taste


Cut bread into small cubes. Grease a fry pan with little ghee and slightly toast it till golden brown and set aside.
Heat oil in a pan and roast cashew nuts. Add chopped onions and saute till golden brown and then ginger garlic and saute till raw flavor disappears. Next add cooked vegetables,chilly powder,turmeric powder and garam masala and tomato sauce. Mix well and add the bread and toss. Sprinkle salt,chopped coriander and lemon juice and serve.

Try this..
Hope you will all enjoy.

Thalashery Chicken Biryani

Chicken Biryani is very important for festive occasions in Kerala. Different styles like Kozhikodan Biryani, Malabar Biryani, Thalashery style, Kayees Biryani famous in Central Kerala especially Cochin....the list goes on and on..... This recipe I had noted in my recipe book some time back  from a TV show. Talasherry Biryani ingredients are not much different from the usual Kerala styles,but the preparation and taste is definitely unique. In the ingredients you will find a total absence of curd and chilly powder. The rice I has used is long grain basmathi rice, as I did not have the smaller variety which is actually used in this biryani. Give this recipe a try..you will surely feel the difference. Ingredients For the Rice Basmathi Rice- 3 cups Salt to taste Cloves- 5 Cinnamon 1 inch tick Cardamon- 3 Ghee- 1 tsp Rose water- 2 tsp Water- 6 cups For the masala Chicken- 2 lb Onions thinly sliced- 6-7 medium Tomatoes- 4 medium Ginger - 2 inch thick peice Garlic- 1...

Kerala Chicken Curry/Home Style Chicken Curry

Kerala Chicken Curry Spicy chicken curry is a great accompaniment with rice, appam, or chapati. This chicken curry is an old comfort food recipe, simple and straight forward and you will never go wrong with this. It is a simple, easy chicken curry but tastes delicious. The flavor of earthy spices, onion tomato- masala, and coconut milk all melding into one another, to make rich and aromatic chicken curry. This home-style chicken was the first chicken curry that mom taught me. My mom is my food hero, and sometimes she got this wildly experimenting streak which drives my dad crazy, but I enjoy it the most. So let me call this home style, standardized regular curry, which she makes every Sunday. Now when I’m feeling extra nostalgic for homey taste, I make this chicken curry.  It goes well with almost anything-naans, chapatis, ghee rice, fried rice, or with freshly baked bread.   Coconut milk adds flavor and a touch of sweetness to the curry. If you like, you can add s...

Milk Peda Sweet- Indian Milk Fudge

Milk peda Sweet- Indian Milk Fudge Milk peda or khoya sweet is quintessential Indian sweet or  mith ai made on all special occasions. No festive occasion is complete without these small round discs of milky creamy delight. They are commonly distributed in temples as  prasad , or a religious offering of food The richness and flavor of this sweet, soft fudge is truly divine. Along with the richness of milk, this sweet is gently laced with the flavor of  cardamom and saffron . This is so addictive and the best you can ever imagine! Peda is my all-time favorite sweet. It has a soft and slightly chewy texture and is made with mawa or milk solids. During my years in college, my friends and I would eagerly wait for the food truck that comes to campus every Wednesday. Everyone lines up for ice cream. But there are a few of us that join a small line for peda and palkova (the south Indian milk fudge). Now it does not mean that I don't like ice creams. But I simply lov...
