DRY RED CHILLI CHUTNEY

Hi All,
RED CHILLI CHUTNEY!! Last week my whole family was suffering from severe cold.We were carving for something hot and spicy.Then my friend Ms.Chachithra from Florida called me and while talking she told me about this chilli chutney,Immediately I gave a try and it was complete satisfaction for our spicy carving.
Actual recipe does not include tomatoes but as I have to feed the same to my daughter I added 2 small tomatoes to reduce the spiciness.The chutney was very yummy,tangy,spicy and with fantastic red colour.It is definitely going to be a treat for spicy lovers.

The recipe is as below,

INGREDIENTS :
Onions – 4 nos ( medium sized).
Dry red chillies – 5 nos.
Garlic – 7 pods.
Tamarind – a small gooseberry sized.
Tomatoes – 2 no ( small) ( optional).
Salt – as required.
Curry leaves – a sprig.
Mustard – 1/4 tsp.
Channa dal , Urad dal – 1/2 tsp.
Gingelly oil – 3 tsp.



PREPARATION :
  1. Grind onions , dry red chillies , garlic , tamarind , tomatoes,salt to fine puree.

  2. Heat oil in wide kadai , followed by mustard , curry leaves ,channa dal,urad dal and saute till golden brown.

  3. Then add ground puree and let the chutney boil in medium flame till oil separates.
  4. Serve hot spicy chutney for Idli ,Dosa of your choice.

NOTES :
  1. Actual recipe does not include tomatoes ,to reduce spiciness I added them.You can skip tomatoes and increase tamarind a bit.
  2. Gingelly oil works best , don't replace with other oil.


    HAPPY COOKING!!

KADAMBA / KANAVA MASALA /SQUID FISH CURRY

Hi, Sea has lot of creatures in it that we can cook and we were much more unaware of many . Squid fish is one among the yummy species which I was totally unaware even after coming to Chennai.One day in market I saw them and surprised that they are selling octopus ( it looked like that to me :)). Then I surfed in net and found actually they are squid ( kadamba / kanava) and not octopus , My friend Saranya cooked this gravy for us during her visit to our home .I copied the recipe from her and tried next week itself.Though the squid fish looks very weird the taste was so yummy and there is no fish odor in that.It just tasted like mutton. The cleaning part is little tricky but easy, I suggest once you finished cleaning dispose the waste immediately out of your house as the waste from squid fish is very smelly and also it starts leaving water .So dispose the waste of squid as quick as possible. Other than that the fish tastes heaven , spicy, yummy and very easy to cook. I have
