Another Saturday and another beautiful guest post… :)I had mentioned on my FB update last week that blogging has given me some very surprising acquintances that I would have never got if I weren’t into it… If you really ask me why I got into blogging, I really wouldn’t know what to answer! I wanted to make it like a diary of what I have cooked and turned out well, but more than that, I also wanted it to be a forum where I could unleash myself. Since it is a public forum, I may not unleash myself full on but the part that I do is more than enough to make me feel nice! Then slowly, it turned out to be more of a relationship development forum. I have gained a lot of good relationships, which is virtual. I have never seen them, never heard their voice – but…
Eggless Garlic Zaatar (Thyme) Rolls
It’s already Thursday today!!! I cannot believe myself. I feel that this week has flown by skipping a couple of days in between!! This weekend is devoid of any plans, which is good. I guess then I can twist and tweek it the way I want, InShaAllah… 🙂  I have just noticed that for the past few posts, I’ve been only posting desserts or snacks rather than some hard core meals!!! I guess it’s time to break that trend at-least for some time. So after today’s post, hopefully I will post some meals… These garlic rolls are too good… I have taken this recipe from Suhaina’s My Singapore Kitchen, just like how I had done for the Mini Sausage Rolls I posted sometime back. Actually speaking, I lost my fear of working with yeast, once I had made these two recipes from her page. This is also one no-fail good recipe,…
Chicken Cheese Pockets
The temperatures are slowly starting to rise. It is starting to get warm during the mornings, even though evenings are quite sober and breezy. The nights are becoming shorter and hence days are flying faster, it feels like. Very soon, it’s going to become actual summer. When the temperatures are going to start from 40 degrees and above… The time for barbecues and beach visits will cease. I am thinking to take the kids to the beach this weekend, but it all depends upon the sunshine.  Today’s recipe is a slight twist from our normal samosas. Wrapped up in a box and hidden in with a surprise. What is it? Cheese, of course. I had made this just randomly to finish off some of the cheese that was lying in the house and everybody enjoyed. What I love regarding this pastry is that when you rip off from the center I love the way…
Chatti Pathiri | Aduku Pathal | Athishaya Pathiri ~ Malabar Baked Layered Pancakes
Sometimes, things come as it comes, giving you surprises all across the way. Blogging has just been that way for me. I started it at a whim on things, but believe me, now I am enjoying each and every bit of the cooking, clicking, typing and random rambling!!! Not to mention, all of you out there who have been extra supportive… 🙂  You may have noticed that from the beginning of the year, we have had two cook-along for the Kerala Kitchen – the first one being the Kappa Masala and the second being the Chammanthi Podi, both which were hosted by Nagalakshmi from Edible Garden, who I don’t think needs any introduction – she is such a seasoned blogger! The whole purpose of Kerala Kitchen blog was to introduce to all the beauty of Kerala cooking – how much it varies from north to south!!!  This month,…
Chicken Pakoda
  I guess I am suffering again from a blocked head today. I am not able to think much as to what to write. It’s already month end and in the next few hours, we will move onto the next month. Time is flying at maddening speed. But sometimes, you really need to sit back and ponder on how things are going on and how you want them to be…  I love the times when you can sit with stretched legs on a sofa, with a cup of hot tea, with no noise or disturbances in the background (read – sleeping kids!), allowing your mind to wander through sweet nothings and munching on some pakodas while sipping that chai. Nothing like it… When we go home for our summer vacations, and when it pours there, I love doing this in the front sit-out watching the rain pour and enjoying the…
Mini Sausage Rolls
Before I start today’s post, I want to thank somebody profusely. Somebody, who in my eyes, is a very seasoned blogger, who puts up meals and pictures that looks like it is from a five star home, but with all it, is very humble and simple. I had already thanked her when I received my first Leibster, but let me thank her again. Jehanne, you have been really kind. I am a small blogger, having nothing much spectacular on my blog, but she makes me feel otherwise. This lovely lady is now going to be the author of a cookbook series, and isn’t she excited! She went on to post about it on her blog, with a little mention about me, which left me short of words!!! She had names of seasoned, I mean, really seasoned bloggers, who get thousands of hits everyday and posts extra ordinary recipe, and there…
Kerala Kappa Masala – Tapioca Masala
At least, I am on time. I finally bought tapioca last Tuesday and came home. We normally don’t buy tapioca due to my umma’s diabetes problem. So it has been quite some time since we have had some. As soon as umma saw the grocery, she immediately ordered my B to get fresh beef from the local grocery. Then she gave me a smile and said, “Ethrayum kaalam kappa biriyani thinitilla, onnu undakko?” (“I’ve not had tapioca biriyani till now, can you make it for me?”) Who can resist kappa biriyani? Finally, I just kept around 700 gms aside and used up the remaining to make the kappa biriyani, the recipe of which will come in due course. This weekend, I made the Kerala Kitchen challenge for our chai break. The recipe is adapted from Edible Garden, who is hosting this month’s challenge, however made slight changes to the quantities…
Tuna Cutlets
On a cold day, spicy snacks with a cup of hot chai, coffee or even better, hot chocolate is a big yes. However, as I am working, doing this is quite restricted to the weekends. These are very easy to churn out, as what is used does not require much of cooking, except for the potatoes.  This is comfort food at its best, as far as I am concerned… 🙂  Updated on December 1, 2016 with new pictures: I can’t believe that I did a post with just hardly three lines as text during the first month of blogging… 🙂 Tuna cutlets are definitely my favorite anytime, mainly due to the ease of making it, as well as the delicious taste anytime of the day. Glad to revisit back this post after a long time with better pictures…   Old picture below…  Tuna Cutlets Save Print…
