Catla fish fry

Fish is rich in omega 3 fatty acids and big ones like catla, salmon, rohu are all really flesh ones which tend to be of lean meat texture. It's good to try meat like recipes with such fish. This is a south Indian recipe especially from Tamil Nadu. I usually make fish fry with the same spices as listed here. You can add ginger-garlic paste if you want, but it would not compromise on the taste of the dish! Ingredients: 1 tsp red chilli powder salt to taste 1 tsp black pepper powder #How to make catla fish fry: Take all the spice powders and salt into a plate. Add 50 ml of water and mix it to a paste. Let it be thick so that it coats the fish pieces. Place fish pieces onto the plate and coat them nicely on both sides. Let it marinate for 20-30 minutes. Heat a tawa and add some oil. When the oil is hot enough, place marinated fish pieces on medium flame. Cook for 5 minutes. Drizzle some oil if needed. Flip and cook for another 5-6 minutes on medium flame.

Palkova / Thirattupaal/ Sweet Khoya

Homemade sweets are always special as you have control over the sweetness ( well, i agree you cannot compromise on the sugar added to a sweet recipe) however we can assure brown sugar or jaggery could be substituted wherever possible and free of food colors and any other preservatives. In today's recipe, i'm going to share about a simple two-ingredient recipe which uses cow's milk - its palkova aka thirattupaal (sweet khoya). The process is quite cumbersome, however with a heavy bottomed non-stick pan, you can skip stirring quite often and sit back and watch while it gets simmered without being burnt. Choose the right vessel for this dish and you would be rest assured a hassle free recipe. Let's get into recipe and the steps. You can use full cream milk or buffalo's milk instead of cow's milk. Cow's milk gives the best of taste you can ever get! Happy ready and hope you try out this recipe at your home and share your valuable feedback. Ingredients

Chocolate dipped strawberries

I once tried to make chocolate flavoured cake. You know what i mean ? Well it's not a chocolate cake, but i wanted to add little bit of melted chocolate to the batter and I used a microwave safe bowl to melt the chocolate. Uff! the chocolate did not melt evenly instead, the bowl started to burn. Never in my world, i know that the microwave needs to be set in the lowest power mode and the chocolate needs to be melted by keeping it in the microwave and check every 30 seconds. Over the period of daily cooking and learning, i thought double boiler method would be the best way to melt chocolates and of course without burning anything! Double boiler method helps not to burn the vessel in which we melt the chocolate. It is basically a sauce pan filled with one fourth of water and boil it. Once the water starts boiling, place the chocolate containing vessel inside the sauce pan (make sure, the vessel does not slide and get water into it, that is why we choose to fill one fourth of the sa

Sometimes, i use all the colors available in the market for chicken skewers as they give a more appeasing look to the kabob! Each tastes different. The yellow bell peppers are spicy as compared to it's siblings - green, red and orange. The egg capscium curry is made using sliced onions, ginger-garlic paste, green chillies and garam masala. That extra hot spiciness to the dish comes from the freshly ground black pepper corns, fennel seeds and cumin seeds. Let's quickly see what goes into the pan for making this yummy egg curry.
