TOMATO CORIANDER THOKKU / PICKLE

Hi All, Its the season of tomatoes so try to make many dishes with tomatoes and enjoy. Even when the tomato prices are high we buy tomatoes as we are tomato lovers. Now the tomato prices came down so I make thokku often and preserve it for weeks. Tomato thokku is like pickle it is enough if we take a little but we people wont take it like pickle , we eat thokku like chutney so if 3 kg of tomatoes is converted to thokku it will last only for two days in my house ( we are tomato eating Draculas !!). Also during season we will get good quality ripe tomatoes which is perfect for making pickle and thokku.  Last month we were planning for a vacation for two weeks so I thought of emptying my refrigerator then I noticed a dozen of tomatoes lying in my tray along with a bunch of coriander leaves.

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...
