My sister introduced me this poriyal recipe.When she was in Hyderabad her neighbour taught her this yummy sidedish recipe.My sister use to cook this radish in cooker but I felt like some sort of odour in cooker boiling so made in tawa itself.The recipe is so simple just like other poriyal but you need to take care in adding water alone.
The recipe is as below,

  2. Chop onions and green chillies to small bits.Grate coconut.

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.
