MUTTON THUVARAI (MOCHAI) KUZHAMBU

Hi , In Bangalore we get good quality mutton ( goat meat), but you need to be cautious in selecting meat. Here sheep meat is more preferred than goat meat by everyone but the fat content in sheep meat much higher than goat meat. After cooking when cooled the sheep meat gravy has a layer of fat froze and floating on top. So I prefer goat meat, we like the taste and flavour of goat meat. Now it is the season of beans in Bangalore, it starts around end of nov and ends by feb mid. I try to make as much dishes with all types of fresh beans. But I never combined vegs and non veg in one dish. This is first time im trying and really we loved the combination. Our neighbour shared this recipe with us and thank you Caramel aunty for sharing wonderful recipes. The easy and yummy recipe is as below, COOKING TIME : 45 MINS. SERVINGS : 4 MEMBERS. INGREDIENTS : Mutton – 500 gms. Thuvarai / Mochai – 1 cup. Onions – 1 no. Cumin – 1 tsp. Curry leaves -   a spr...

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...
