Because Kerala people use coconut and coconut oil generously in their cooking. The same way, we Havyakas in Karnataka also love to use coconut and coconut oil in our cooking. These days, due to cholesterol fear, people started using more of sunflower oil and other varieties of oils. But to get the real taste of traditional Havyaka recipes, one must use grated coconut and coconut oil generously in cooking.  Why I am talking about Kerala Kitchen today is, I am going to share a Kerala cuisine recipe today. This looks bit similar to one of the famous Havyaka recipe Paladya , but both taste differently! Like Paladya, Pulisheri also tastes better when we use coconut generously. ;) With the nice aroma of cumin seeds and green chillies, this curry tastes very good with rice. Preparation time: 20 minutes Servings: 3 - 4 Ingredients: Hal...

Never I will get bored of eating bread slices roasted with ghee :) During our stay in Australia, I was missing sweet bread very much and later, got a bread mould for preparing bread at home. But I couldn't use it much and it was sitting idle.  My bread baking adventure was started very recently. The reason is that we won't have a good bakery nearby. If I need bread anytime, I have to wait till we go for groceries! So, just thought of preparing bread at home :) My first experiment was not good, but I got very good results in my later experiments. These days, we started loving home made bread than what we get from the shop!

Also, when I was working, I used to prepare this easy n delicious apple custard to serve the guests most of the time. The reason is that it can be prepared in the morning itself and my cooking time will be reduced little bit! It can be served without ice cream also, but ice cream will add more taste to this dessert. In case you are not adding ice cream, just compensate it with more amount of dry fruits :) Vanilla ice cream is a good combination with this custard. I didn't had the stock of vanilla ice cream at home, so I have used black currant ice cream for a change. You can decorate it with the dry fruits of your choice. Preparation time: 1/2 hour Cooling time: 2 hours Servings: 3 Ingredients: Milk - 2 1/2 cup Apple - 1 halve 1 large banana - fully ripened  Custard powder - 2 tbsp Sugar for sweetness (around 5 spoons) Pinch of sa...

During hot summer, more than hot curries and sambar, cool ones like Tambuli and Appehuli will be more comfortable to have. Tambuli is also called as Tambli in common. Varieties of Tambuli can be prepared using simple ingredients available in our kitchen. Almost all the varieties of Tambuli are prepared using buttermilk. As per my knowledge, Raw Mango Tambli is the only Tambli for which buttermilk is not needed. Any variety of raw mango which can be used for pickle will also be good for Tambuli. Try this Tambuli during hot summer to keep your body cool and I'm sure, you will like it!!
