KIZHI PAROTTA

Hi All, The story behind this Kizhi parotta is always a sweet memory for me. Last year before planning for vacation to Kochi , I listed out the dish names which I wanted to try there, and on the top of list was this kizhi parotta. Everyday we use to search this parotta in all online portals but none of the restaurents served this parotta. Finally I searched in fb and got their contact number and messaged and got it delivered to our house. And it was worth of so much effort, it was spicy, aromatic , wonderful and just out of words. I love kerala for this parotta itself. From then I wanted to try this parotta at home desperately. Though the recipe is not much complicated but getting banana leaf is more complicated here. We have to travel a couple of kms to buy banana leaf and in this covid situation it was very risky. Finally one fine day we bought banana leafs and made this kizhi parotta at home and as expected it was a hit and tasted wonderful. Happy to share the recipe with ...

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...
