I wanted to try chicken kheema for a long time. One of the times before I was going to make Idili I saw ground chicken at Whole Foods, couldn’t resist buying as they go very well together.
Cardamom / Elaichi / Yelakkai
Tamilnadu Style Mutton Chops
It’s been a long time since I posted a recipe. I guess I need some motivation here, come on guys!! cheer me up..
Sunday becomes special when cooking non-veg at home that’s why you can see lots of non-veg recipes in my site :) Especially with mutton I always like to try different recipes each time. I got this recipe from one of my Muslim friends. His food used to be very famous during college days. So after I started cooking I collected a few recipes from him.
Nilgiri Chicken Korma
I started enjoying mint and coriander flavor with chicken and wanted to try out something new and different. While searching I found this recipe interesting and tried it with a little customization. So feel free to experiment with what you like or don’t like and share how it turned out.
Ghee Rice/ Coconut Milk Rice
Ghee rice is an easy prep which fits all special occasions. I had it with Nilgiri Chicken Kurma as a side, but this can be combined with any chicken/veg gravy. If you are having guests at short notice, here’s a simple recipe to surprise them for sure.
Chettinad Mutton Kulambu/ Chettinad Mutton Curry
Cook Time :40 Min | Servings : 4 Persons
Chettinadu recipes are one of our favorites. Chettinadu recipes have a nice blend of spices which makes it unique and adds the taste and flavor to the dish.
Mutton takes longer time to cook without pressure cooker. With the pressure cooker 3-5 whistles cooks mutton well done. If the pressure cooker is not used, it has to be cooked for at least an hour.

Khao Phad Sapparot / Thai Pineapple Chicken Fried Rice
Cook Time :15 Min | Servings : 2 Persons
Fried Rice will be cooked at least once a week in a typical Thai home. Usually fried rice combination will be made on the fly with the ingredients available at hand. Also, fried rice is easy to make with the left over rice and perfectly suited for parties of all sort.
Thai Curry paste can be bought in stores and refrigerated, since I didn’t have it, I made the curry paste myself. I also made my own combination of veggies and meat. Instead of Chicken, shrimp can also be used or it can be cooked only with vegetables.
When it’s this easy to make at home, who says no to try it out !!!
Mutton Biryani / Aatu Kari Biryani
Cook Time : 50 Min | Servings : 2 Persons
Say Kongunadu style Mutton biryani. Well, not exactly but this is how all type of biriyani’s are cooked at my home since I remember. But the marination part has never been done, since I get tough meat here I started marinating. Meat tenderizer can also be added while marinating, but I skipped that step.
Hmm… Sunday with biriyani cooked at home for lunch, who would say no. I normally skip breakfast on Sundays and I start counting the minutes as soon as my mom starts preparing. The aroma spreads the house makes u to feel more hungry. When my mom says it’s done, yes that’s the moment I have been waiting for and I eat more than usual. I should say biryani with some non-veg gravy and raitha is the great combo I have ever had.
