MADURAI STYLE KARI DOSA ( VEGETARIAN VERSION) / CAULIFLOWER KHEEMA KARI DOSA

Hi Everyone, Have you ever been to Madurai ( India , Tamil Nadu)?? I heard Madurai cuisine is entirely different and they have very yummiest foods in their menu!! Last week in a TV show they were showing about Madurai cuisines and Iam completely flattered by their foods and the way of preparation. Inspired by some of their traditional and signature dish like kari dosa I tried in my own way that's too vegetarian version of it :) ! In Madurai Konar kadai Kari dosa the chef refused to tell the recipe of the mutton curry and also a gravy they added in dosa ,he just explained how they prepare dosa using their curry.So I tried it using cauliflower and it came out to be great dinner. The dish is very full and looks like lot of ingredients but the cooking is very easy and only takes 30 mins to cook.   CAULIFLOWER KHEEMA DOSA But still im curious about Madurai foods...:)) Lets plunge into our recipe, INGREDIENTS : Dosa batter - one cup. Cauliflower - 2 cups....

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...
