IVY GUARD GRAVY / KOVAKKAI MASALA

Hi   All, Here there is a take away where we use to buy sabji ,gravies very often. Once I tasted a gravy there . It was puli kuzhambu (Gravy with tamarind) which was made with ivy guard (Kovakkai) . It was awesome. Till then I was making only porial and fries with ivy guard. First time I tasted it as gravy and we all loved it. Then I started searching ivy guard recipes in Karnataka cuisine and my neighbour gave me this recipe.Here they add ground peanuts, sesame in many foods, likewise the gravy too made with sesame and groundnut. Sesame and groundnut gives nice rich flavour also it adds the silky consistency to gravy. Be careful while roasting the ingredients, make sure you don’t burn them. A little burning is enough to spoil the entire gravy, so always roast in low flame & keep an eye too. Note:  that till date I have not found the exact recipe of what I tasted in that take away, once I got I will share you that recipe too.   The rich , yummy...

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...
