KASI HALWA / PUMPKIN/ ASHGUARD HALWA

Hi All , Kasi halwa / White pumkin / ashguard halwa is a unique dessert which is a part of every marriage in our family. Mostly during marriages that afternoon followed by muhurtham we serve this halwa for dessert. That warm, silky, colourful, melt to mouth halwa will be out of world. Normally we serve in banana leaf , the colour combo for green banana leaf and this red halwa will be just amazing and definitely you will carve for more. Im missing all those good old days. Halwa is easy to make , all you need to little more ghee/ oil and continues stirring, rest of the job is easy and you can make it in no time. Though halwa is easy to make and yummy to eat, but kasi halwa I never tried as im not sure about pumpkin cooking. Due to lock down I brought a big sized pumpkin and my family don’t want any curry from it. SO thought of giving a try with halwa and it came out to be too perfect. Also for colour I don’t want to use any colour powder so I used a little bit of beetroot pu...

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...
