I was just looking at the overdose of sweetstuff on the blog… oh yes, my blog’s name is The Big Sweet Tooth, but even sweet tooths can get a bit fed up with the overload of sugar… hehe… So I guess, I will share some spicy recipes for at least the next couple of days. Sharing with you today a very traditional Malabar recipe… I had bought this book of Faiza Moosa from the Sharjah Book Fair last November among the few that I had purchased. Malabar is the whole north of Kerala, covering from Malappuram to Kannur. I wouldn’t say that I know any traditional fare much, because our side cooking is very limited, but I must say that Kozhikode and Kannur has such a wide variety of cuisine and food, that it definitely needs to be stored and safeguarded for future reference. Each time I see any book with “Malabar” word on it, I just take it! Hehe… this is a nice thick egg curry with the richness of coconut milk, adjusted to the liking of my family. A no-tomato preparation, which makes it even more interesting…
