Vadakari - Lentil Curry
» ‎ Spicy Tasty
When I was in India Vadakari used to be in our breakfast menu atleast twice in a month. It is one of my favorite sides with idli . But I never got a chance to get the recipe and live demo from my mom. After I got married I came to know it is my hubby’s favorite too. I tried it a few times but it wasn’t even anywhere close to my moms recipe. My mother-in-law is in town and now she made this last month for us and I was like this is it! It was just my moms recipe and the same restaurant style taste that I used to crave for. And now I got the recipe and tried it last week by myself and it came out really good.

It is again one of the famous breakfast dishes in South India. There wouldn’t be a vegetarian restaurant in Tamilnadu without this in their menu. It’s a must have dish. My mouth is watering even as I am writing this recipe. Maybe I’ll make some tomorrow.

Aapam - Rice Pancakes Recipe
» ‎ Spicy Tasty
Aapam is another one of those unique south Indian breakfast dishes. It will come under the same family of “Dosas” except aapam will have a thick spongy center and thin and crispy edges. It’s usually made in a special “Aapam pan/Kadai”. You might find this in the breakfast section of a south Indian restaurant menu.

Aapam is my husband’s favorite breakfast of all time. He kept asking me to make this for a long time. But as with many other dishes, I thought this is hard to make. After my mother-in-law showed me once, I found out it isn’t that hard to make. You will find out why in a minute.

“Wish you all a Happy Independence Day”

Black Forest Cherry Torte - Black Forest Cake
» ‎ Spicy Tasty
Cake, when you hear the word, you can imagine all the mouth watering cream and toppings blended with the soft layers of the spongy cake. Black Forest Cherry Torte (torte is the German word for cake) is one of the popular German dessert. It is a chocolate layer cake with whipped cream, cherries and chocolate curls. The cake is further decorated with whipped cream, cherries and chocolate shavings. It is a pure heaven when it melts in your mouth. This is the first cake I have ever baked in my life and I am so happy that the output was good. I made this wonderful cake for my friend Satish’s birthday. Satish is my one of my best friend and luckily we happened to stay in the same city and he stay very close to my house. This was his last birthday as a bachelor. So I wanted throw a party for him and invited some of our friends. We all had a good time and all my friends liked it. So I want to share it with you all. Here you go…

Curried Shrimp Skewers
» ‎ Spicy Tasty
Our good friends, Romie & Peter had invited us over for dinner. Romie had made several delicious dishes for us. She is an excellent cook and every time we go over to her place, I am looking forward to a new dish she would have made. And this time was no different.

She had made multiple mouth watering dishes and I really loved perai (Kerala dish) and Curried Shrimp Skewers. I couldn’t resist to take pictures of them and share it with you all. And I am posting the Curried Shrimp Recipe here on behalf of her. I will be posting the Perai (kerala dish) recipe very soon.

The first thing that struck me, probably you too, is the presentation. Doesn’t it look so inviting? Here is an awesome recipe and pictures from Romie’s kitchen.

Bottle Gourd Koottu - Bottle Gourd Curry
» ‎ Spicy Tasty
This yet another recipe from my mother inlaw’s kitchen. I have never tried bottle gourd before and didn’t know it was so easy to cook. It’s very healthy and makes for a tasty side dish for chapathies and rice. Besides its healthy properties, there is a little known fun fact about this vegetable. Its dried and cored skin is used to make traditional musical instruments like Tambura and Veena.

I am sending this recipe to Pooja of My Creative ideas who is hosting “Vegetable of the Week ” - Bottle gourd Event

And I am submitting this recipe to Srivalli of Cooking 4 all seasons Who is hosting Curry Mela Event.

Thanks for reminding me srivalli.

Tandoori Chicken
» ‎ Spicy Tasty
Tandoori Chicken is another staple item in any Indian restaurant menu and is one of the best liked items as well. Tandoori Chicken is a chicken dish that originated in the Punjab region of the Indian subcontinent. Chicken is marinated in yogurt and seasoned with tandoori masala. It has a lot of history behind it going back to the Mughal age.
From Wikipedia,

Tandoor cooked chicken actually dates back to the Mughal peroid. A man named Kundan Lal Gujral ran a restaurant called Moti Mahal in Peshawar before the partition of India. Trying out new recipes to keep his patrons interested, Gujral tried cooking chicken in tandoors (clay ovens) used by locals until then to cook naans (bread). The tandoors are bell-shaped ovens, set into the earth and fired with wood or charcoal reaching temperatures of about 900 degrees. Gujral was able to cook the tender chickens in these ovens making them succulent inside and crispy outside. After the partition in 1947, Punjab was partitioned with the Eastern portion joining India and the Western, Pakistan. Peshawar became part of Pakistan and Gujral found himself one among many refugees fleeing the rioting and upheaval by moving to India. He moved his restaurant to Delhi in a place called Daryagunj. The fame of Tandoori Chicken led to many derivatives like Chicken Tikka Masala and Butter Chicken, commonly found in menus in Indian restaurants all over the world.
