Goan Egg drop Curry | Spicy Egg Curry Recipe | Parotta side dish recipe

Goan Egg Drop Curry

Last week husband was home and on his request made Wheat Parotta and Goan egg curry. Surprisingly he asked for an egg recipe, he usually doesn't prefer egg. I gladly cooked for him and clicked pictures so that I share with all of you our favourite combination of wheat parotta and egg curry. Cooking this meal would take an hour and its great if you want to have a great lunch or dinner without the usual dosas idlies or white rice. Do you need an excuse to make this for this weekend? 

Goa is known for its beaches, seafood and many other tasty and unique culinary preparations. Mostly you will find fresh ground spices, coconut, red chillis and vinegar. This Goan Egg drop curry is a simple mildly spicy gravy with coconut, coconut milk and tamarind.

Oats Mixed Nuts Laddu | Oats Laddu Recipe | Oats sweet recipe

Oats Nuts Laddu

I must confess that I have a sweet tooth and not always but occasionally. I used to make these laddus periodically and thought it was time to post this simple mildly sweet version of Oats Nuts Laddus. They can be made under 15 minutes and stored in room temperature for upto 4 days if that lasts that long. The texture of these laddus in mindly course, crunchy and nutty at the same time. A great snack if you want to make fussy eaters at home have oats.

Sweet Lime Mint Cooler | Sathukudi/ Mosambi Juice | Summer Drink Recipe

Sathukudi Juice

Mosambi/ Sathukudi / Sweet lime is one of my favourite fruits among the fruit family. If you have been following my blog you would very well know that I love fruits. Beating the summer with fresh fruit juices are good. Summer is at its peak in India and I am looking at ways to keep myself hydrated. The benefits of sweet lime is amazing it helps in hydration, sun stroke, digestion, control cholesterol, helps the liver for people suffering jaundice, boots calcium in pregnant women and so on to name a few. Make the best of this lovely fruit and keep yourself hydrated during the summer. If you have never tasted sweet lime it is more citrus flavour but not too overpowering like orange or lemon but with a subtle sweet taste and is not acidic like its counterparts. You need to pick firm sweet lime that are quite heavy for their size compared to the light ones that do not have much juice in them. You can store them for upto 2 weeks in room temperature or in the refrigerator depending on your preference.

Brinjal Kara Kuzhambhu | Tamilian Kathirikai Kara Kuzhambu

Kathirikai Kara Kuzhambhu

 If you love Ennai Kathrikai (Stuffed Brinjals in Coconut curry) then you are sure to love this simple quick version of Brinjal curry otherwise known as Kathirikai Kara Kuzhambu (Spicy Brinjal curry). Kara Kuzhambhu is a famous Tamilian staple curry made to serve along with white rice, kootu and appalam. Its spicy, tangy and thick in texture. The best vegetables to make a kara kuzhambhu is drumstick and brinjals. You can even add both and make a kara kuzhambhu. But my most favourite version is the one amma makes - Seppakezhamghu Kara Kuzhambhu. Usually this curry takes practice to get its best flavours but trust me if you are going to try making this spicy tangy curry then look no further as this recipe is a killer it turns out perfect the first time you make it.

Paneer Tikka Recipe

Paneer Tikka, isn't the name itself inviting? Paneer is a go to recipe at home whenever we go on a vegetarian mode. Last week, I was wanting to do a paneer recipe that I had not blogged about just to click pictures. I made the marinate 2 hours before and soaked the paneer and capsicum and onions pieces. The paneer pieces were tender and flavoured well. The key is in the marination and you can make the marinate ahead and then pan/ oven roast the paneer to make the tikka.
