Hungry for more? Check out... MariasMenu There are some recipes which are very special to you, maybe not because of it's taste but because of how it makes you feel! This Chemmeen Peera Pattichathu is one such recipe for me. I always associate meen peera/chemmeen peera with my childhood days. My Ammachi (maternal grandmother) used to have meen peera for lunch almost every other day. I still remember, her standing on the front veranda and talking to the fish monger about the freshness of the fish. Believe it or not, this recipe is one of the first non veg recipes that I've written in my cooking ..read more

So I baptised this chicken dish as Masala Chicken ;) So, here we are after a looong time!

Hungry for more? Check out... MariasMenu Chicken Do Pyaza, literally translated as Chicken Two Onions! Well, google says…This means that the onions are added twice in the recipe or double the amount of onions are included. But nothing of that sort is there in this particular recipe. The only thing is, onions are cooked twice. First in raw form and later on, the cooked onions are ground into a paste and cooked. Anyways, let's come to the flavors and texture. This Chicken Do Pyaza has a thick gravy with amazing flavors. We prefer curries with thick gravies in general, I somehow feel the fla ..read more

Hungry for more? Check out... MariasMenu Onam is here and there is no Onam celebration without Payasam! Pineapple Gothambu Payasam is like a new take on the traditional gothambu payasam recipe. When it comes to celebrating festivals, I kinda prefer to keep it traditional. Usually I stick with traditional Payasam recipes for Onam and experiment new recipes on other occasions. However this time, I changed it slightly by adding pineapple to a traditional payasam recipe. Though the pineapple flavor was subtle, it added a nice bite and people who tasted it, were curious about the unexpected texture ..read more

Hungry for more? Check out... MariasMenu Onam is almost here! I can see the social media flooded with Onam recipes and attires of all sorts. How about you? Have you started your Onam preps? Though I've made a full fledged Onasadya, only one or two times, we've covered almost all sadya recipes on the blog. One thing that was missing was a madhura curry (sweet curry). This Pineapple Pulissery is more like a sweet and sour curry. I do like sweet and sour flavor combo and so I tend to make this every now and then. The sweetness from the pineapple and the sourness from the yogurt, gives it a wonder ..read more

Hungry for more? Check out... MariasMenu I've been wanting to try Korean food at home for quite sometime. As always, I pinned a lot of recipes and it remained just like that. Well, there was something that stopped me from trying those recipes, the ingredients list! There would always be some ingredient that wasn't easily available. Then one day, I happened to come across a video of Gordon Ramsay making a Korean Street Toast and I was like, hey I can make this at home. It's super easy, ingredients are easily available and looks like it's gonna tastes fab! So, that's what I did…I narrowed down m ..read more

Hungry for more? Check out... MariasMenu This Chemmeen Kovakka Thoran is a simple yet flavor packed Kerala lunch side dish recipe. Vegetables cooked with fish/meat is a common dish in Kerala. However, apart from the potatoes I add to meat/chicken dishes, I rarely cook this kinda dishes. There's no particular reason as such, but it doesn't happen often. How about you? Are you a fan of such dishes? Anyways, here I've used small variety of prawns and kovakka (ivy gourd) to make a thoran for lunch. I like both prawns and kovakka, so the idea of these two combined together appealed to me! It was di ..read more
