Aloo Gobi Dry Curry

Aloo gobi is an easy and simple Indian side dish made with potatoes and cauliflower. In South India, this is had with a simple rasam or sambar rice and in North India, this is enjoyed with roti. Which ever way you choose to have it, this is a healthy tasty dish! You can make it dry like how I have made here or make it like a gravy too. I made it dry as the dry version goes well with rice.

Beef Curry

As I mentioned in the Beef biryani recipe, I am not a beef eater. I have never had beef in my life until the day in my anni's house! She was cooking beef for us and I could not refuse!! She also packed some tender boneless beef pieces for me and I made a beef biryani and this beef curry with it. This curry is a simple and easy recipe that is filled with flavor! You can enjoy this curry as a side dish to roti or even pulao. 


Beef Curry

I have been told that beef needs to be cooked very well so I pressure cooked for about 30 minutes in medium flame.

Eeral Varuval | Lamb Liver Roast

Lamb is the only red meat we eat and this liver is very nutritious, full of viatmins, iron and protein. Growing up I was a very fussy eater but still this eeral varuval was one of the things that I would eat. This dry curry that my mum makes is quite tasty and we love it at home!
One of the things to remember about eeral is that, it needs to be cooked fresh. If it's old or if you've bought and kept in the freezer at home, it gets very rubbery after it's cooked. So always buy fresh eeral and cook it fresh too.
This dish is similar to the mutton pepper fry and the chicken chukka varuval I have posted already.

Curry Leaf Pepper Chicken

This is a spicy and flavorful chicken recipe, the freshly ground pepper and the curry leaves make this chicken even more flavorful.

This goes well with roti or dosa or any variety rice.

Canned Tuna Stirfry

You remember my husband Arun, he wrote a guest post for me ages ago! He decided to cook again one day and he agreed to make it into a guest post for me! Last time he wrote potato fry and this time it's Tuna! I should say I was quite apprehensive to try tinned foods - in my defense I have never had tinned food and had no clue about it so I was not game to experiment but he has made me a believer!!

Over to him!

This recipe's genesis is again from my cooking experiments in my London bachelor days. All guys staying in one flat - each day one guy has to cook.. among the lot who stayed, I was the second best cook, my flatmates said. This dish is my specialty :)

Mutton Pepper Fry Recipe / Lamb Pepper Fry Recipe

This is a lip smacking dish! Very simple but full of flavor. This dish is apparently my grandmother's specialty, I don't remember though. I tried to re create her dish to the best of my ability. 
This tastes absolutely wonderful! We only had a simple rice and rasam but this side dish, really lifted it up to a totally different level. A simple lazy lunch became a delicious lip smacking event!
This is extremely spicy, do adjust the spice level according to your preference.

  • Small onions - 1 Cup
  • Cumin powder - 2 tsp
  • Red chilli powder - 2 tsp
  • Green Chilli - 2

  • Ginger garlic paste - 1 tbsp
  • Garam masala powder - 1 tbsp
  • Turmeric powder - 1/4 tsp

To Temper

  • Oil - 2 tbsp

Method
1. Marinate the mutton pieces with ginger garlic paste, garam masala powder, turmeric powder, curd, pepper and salt for at least 2 hours.
2. Pressure cook the marinated meat with 1/2 cup of water for 6-7 whistles. Do not add too much water since this is a dry dish.



3. Check if the mutton is cooked well otherwise pressure cook again.
4. In a pan add oil. Wait for it to heat up. Add the cinnamon stick, bay leaf, cloves and fennel seeds.



5. Add the small onions, curry leaves and green chillies and saute until the onions change color. 
6. Once the onions are cooked, add the cooked mutton pieces. (if there is some water remaining, make sure you saute the mutton pieces until the water dries up)



7. Add the cumin powder and red chilli powder. Check for salt. Add more if needed.
8. Close the lid and cook for 5-10 minutes, saute every few minutes until the meat is well cooked along with the spices and is totally dry.

Goes well with plain rice.




Notes
1. The measurements given here, make this dish extremely spicy. Do adjust to your preference.

Prawn Masala Recipe

This is a killer recipe! My mom's speciality. This prawn masala tastes awesome and disappears quickly once it's made! This is a spicy masala so you need to adjust the spice level according to your preference. This can be made as a thick gravy or semi dry or dry masala. We always make the semi dry version.
