NONBU KANJI / BRIYANI KANJI

Hi All,   This is my version of nonbu kanji, and the ingredients are used based in availability. This lockdown teaches us the simple and minimal lifestyle. Now we use available ingredients but still the taste of our final dishes are awesome. During my childhood one of our neighbour use to give us this kanji along with briyani for Ramzan, The taste will be awesome and unforgettable. Though she gave us the exact recipe and we tried it so many times but still I strongly feel, their porridge tastes awesome than ours.

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...
