IDIYAPPAM / STRING HOOPERS

Hi All, Idiyappam is one of the healthiest and very comfort dish which you can make it in jiffy. A little practice in dough consistency brings you perfect pluffy, soft idiyappam. I tried a few times earlier but never achieved perfect texture with normal rice flour, though I roasted the flour before using still I was not able to achieve perfect texture. Then I started using idiyappam flour which gave me perfect soft, white puffy idiyappams. Attukal paya / goat leg soup goes best with idiyappam nothing can be the combo of idiyappam and paya but some spicy curry like egg, chicken ,mutton also goes wonderfully with idiyappam. If you want to try sweet version, you can make sweet coconut milk or banana with jaggery which goes well as sweet idiyappam. But we prefer spicy combos, so I make variety of spicy curries with idiyappam. shared the egg paniyaram curry as separate post. Here sharing the idiyappam recipe post for beginners.   SERVINGS : 4 members (yields about 25 idi...

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...
