WHIPPED CREAM

Hi, WHIPPED CREAM!! Making whipped cream in home was always a dream for me..I tried with fresh cream twice but it was a disaster so I dropped the idea of making whipped cream. But after studying a lot and hearing so many advises from FB friends I finally got courage to try it out.Ms.Vandhana Naidu a Fb friend who I have not met before has helped me a lot , she advised me which brand cream to buy and even where to buy .Thank you Vandhana. After so much of discussion I understand Non-dairy whipped cream is a fool proof for making whipped cream so I brought a packet of Golden Mark non-dairy whipped cream and tried it . It came out be very well but as I don't have electric beater I have to whip using hand beater.

I used this cream to frost Black forest cake and M...

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...
