MILK BREAD

MILK BREAD Hai, If you love baking, pls don’t stop in just making cake and cookies. Try your own bread. Trust me baking a bread is quite fun and when you get it perfectly defiantly you will be overjoyed. Making a bread needs little practice and much study about your ingredients quality ,oven temp and weather conditions. So don’t expect your first trial bread to be perfect. I actually throw out my first couple of trials bread. First time the bread was full of yeast odour and awful . Even my second trial was a failure. Then after 3 attempts by bread baking turned awesome and it was full of fun. Yeast quality plays a important role in bread baking. Buy good quality yeast to make your bread perfectly. Instant active yeast works wonderfully, but you can use good quality active dry yeast too. There are few methods in making bread, this one is basic and simple method. Pls read the recipe along with notes and never skip any step. Here is the simple recipe for All purpose flour mi

STREET FOOD MUSHROOM GRAVY (KAALAAN GRAVY)

Hi All, If you are a Coimbatorian then for sure you   must be aware about this Street food “Mushroom gravy” “ Kaalaan gravy”. Whenever we visit home town we never miss to taste this from our nearby street vendor. Though we are very well aware about the hygiene and unhealthy ingredients but still we carve for it and never wanted to miss it during our visit. Actually street vendors never add   mushroom to this gravy, earlier they use to add little mushroom but now completely the gravy has no mushroom. They add cabbage ,corn flour and maida   which has similar texture like mushroom. Somewhere in coimbatore still they make with mushroom which is thrice the cost from normal street vendors. Once in a while I make this in home ,now due to lockdown we miss the kaalaan gravy so much in Bangalore so made this few days back and this time managed to click pictures too. Pl s see the notes for tips and help too. Try it and if you need any help pls don’t hesitate to ping me. Here is the yum

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
