  Dear All, My recent post about a chicken curry reached so much that many ping me asking about recipe. So I thought of uploading it so that everyone can  ref anytime , anyday.

FULL TANDOORI CHICKEN

Hi All, Tandoori chicken is one appetizer which we will never say no. I can have tandoori and grill chicken three times a day. The tangy ,spicy, smoked, crisp tandoori is irresistible. More than store brought ones I love to make it in home as we can have it without guilt. I believe in restaurants they add artificial colours and flavours and also not sure about the freshness of chicken so making in home is healthy, very very less oil, fresh. But the baking time takes more than one hour but it is worth the wait and slow cooked tandoori tastes great. I love grill chicken too, but there is a mild difference in marinating and baking method in both grill and tandoori. I have already posted my grill chicken recipe ( recipe link here) . Here is my tandoori chicken recipe for your easy ref, PREPARATION TIME : 8 hours COOKING TIME : 1 hour 30 mins. SERVINGS : 4 members. INGREDIENTS : FOR FIRST MARINATION : Chicken – 1 kg. Turmeric powder – 1 tsp. Chilli powder – 2 tsp. ...

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...
