Pallipalayam Chicken Fry

This recipe is very simple but  very tasty and one of my all time favorites. Not sure if this is originated from the place Pallipalayam near Erode.

Small onions, unseeded red chilies and no extra water added is the secret of the recipe. Chicken with bones is preferred for better taste. This uses more oil, if you dont prefer use less or remove the excess after cooking.

I usually skip garlic, coconut and coriander leaves. Don’t be alarmed with the red chili count, deseeded one tastes less spicy and that is what adds the taste.

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.

Chettinad Mutton Kulambu/ Chettinad Mutton Curry
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.

Minced Mutton Kheema/ Mutton Kothukari

Cook Time :30-45 Min | Servings : 2 Persons


“The fewer ingredients, the better taste” is true for Mutton Kothu Kari which is one of my favorites. This is one of the Sunday Non-Veg specials at my home. As and when the mutton starts to cook the aroma fills the home and makes you real hungry. I generally have it with steamed white rice or chapathi. I used home made curry masala and fresh ground ginger garlic paste to get the real taste of mom’s cooking. The secret of getting a better taste for any recipe is to add the fresh ground ginger garlic paste, you’ll definitely notice the difference.

Kerala Fish Curry/ Kerala Meen Kulambu
Thank you friends for the constant queries and support. We have moved from Arkansas to Austin, Texas. We are really liking Austin, it feels a lot like India.
It took a little while to get back on track from the busy moving, exploring/enjoying the new place etc and the lazy mood that follows after the exhaustion.
I have lots of recipes to post in my draft. I can’t wait to post them soon. I can say hopefully that I’m back from the long pause/vacation/break or whatever.

Here’s today’s recipe, Kerala Fish Curry. The reason why I like fish is it’s very rich in protein, no cholesterol and wont feel heavy.
When there’s an option for fish and chicken I would always prefer fish. I am trying out different varieties of Fish dishes to not get bored of my favorite ones.
