    Even thoug I don't like ethakayya so much, but this is looking very tempting. Sad I don't get it in Africa, though the bannanas here are huge, n I have mistaken them for our ethapayzham.....

Dil Pasand (Sweet Puffs)

Dil Pasand (Sweet Puffs) Dilpasand/Dilkush is a snack made with puff pastry and has a sweet filling.This sweet puff is found bakeries and food stalls all over South India.Back in my home town the bakeries sell two versions of this. It had the same filling of sweet coconut,nuts and tutti-fruit. The only difference was the crust It can be either flaky crispy puff pastry or a sort of rough pasty dough sometimes very close to sweet bun.If you are craving for something sweet as a tea time snack try this simple and yummy snack. Ingredients Pastry dough sheets-2 Egg white-1 (for the glaze) For the filling Shredded coconut-3/4 cup Cashew nuts-  8-10 Raisins- a few Glazed cherries- 1/2 cup Tutti fruit- 2 tbs Sugar- 2 tbs ( adjust according to your taste  I used more of glazed cherry which was sweet) Cardamon powder- 1/2 tsp Ghee- 1/2 tsp To make the filling Heat ghee in a pan and slightly fry cashews and raisins and keep aside.

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...

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...
