I learned making chicken with Bets recipe for preparing ‘chicken with spicy gravy’. . She is my friend from Kuttanad, indeed a good non veg cook .While staying together it was Bets who always makes chicken dishes for us. I will always stay near to her while cooking, watching the preparation process and will ask her lots of doubts. While coming back from home she always brings Beef fry and pickles

I’m a great lover of Chinese foods. So whenever we dine out I always choose Chinese restaurants.Well, one thing I’ve noticed is that fried rice in different hotels varies in taste and color.

I wish I could peep into a Chinese kitchen and learn the recipe.Yesterday I prepared this dish for

This is quite familiar in markets now. But personally I feel home made chutney powder is tastier than packed ones. The aroma itself reveals its quality. I learned this recipe from my in laws.

I make this often for lunch as cabbage is rich with iron. My early days of cooking were very funny. The very first time when I made this I used lots of water and the cabbage was very sticky.
