I know, it’s been a while since I posted something here. No big excuse, other than the same old story of a hectic work week. However we had our first summer barbecue on Saturday, where I tried out a bunch of new dishes. Even though the thought of blogging was the real inspiration behind trying the new dishes, I didn’t get time to take any pictures. It is hard to take pictures when you have a bunch of hungry guests […]
Spicy Baby Back Ribs
Tuesday, April 29th, 2008Filed Under Good with Drinks, India - Kerala, Pork | 25 Comments
In my last post, I didn’t mean to convey that I hate cooking. I just meant that it is the outcome that I enjoy more than the process. When it comes to cooking, the benefits outweigh the effort normally. That is the reason I cook certain dishes and would never even attempt certain others. I know I will never be able to bake a cake as tasty or as beautiful as our neighborhood baker. Even if I do it will […]
Sausage Fried Rice - Javanese Style
Monday, March 10th, 2008Filed Under Pork, Rice, Rice Or Biryani, South East Asia | 37 Comments
The husband is away on a business trip, the fridge is practically empty and it is pouring outside to go shopping. This was the situation at home tonight when it was time to start thinking about dinner. I raided the fridge to find some Portuguese sausage links, eggs and left over rice. First thought was to just have sausage and eggs, breakfast for dinner, why not? But then I thought of Meeta’s Monthly Mingle, and that today is the last […]
Panni Ularthiyathu - Pork Fry Kerala Style
Wednesday, January 16th, 2008Filed Under Good with Drinks, India - Kerala, Pork | 29 Comments
I know, I made this big announcement about eating healthier this year… Well, we are still sticking to it for the most part, especially during the weekdays. But over the last weekend, I slipped… I was in Uwajimaya (our local Asian grocery store), and I was looking for some lean chicken, when I saw this packet of pork belly sitting there. If you are familiar with different cuts of pork, you will know that most cuts you get here […]
Pork Ularthiyathu (Pork Dry Curry Kerala style)
Monday, September 10th, 2007Filed Under Good with Drinks, India - Kerala, Pork, Side Dish - Dry | 17 Comments
Yep, my Kerala recipes are still coming. I want to blog these mainly for my own future reference. All these dishes are completely mom-made, just writing these down will save me some dollars in phone bills in the future.
I had written about another pork dish a while ago, which needed a cut with a little fat on it, preferably pork belly. But for this dish, you could use a lean cut of the meat. This recipe works very well for beef […]
Curried Pork Belly
Friday, April 20th, 2007Filed Under India - Kerala, Mains, Pork, Recipes | 17 Comments
This is a sinful pork preparation to be made with pork belly with fat on. This cut is available in the Asian stores, lean cut pork will not work for this recipe. The good news is, you don’t need to add any additional oil, if that is any consolation. This is one of our little indulgences that we both love, but try to stay away from making that often. Normal people get cravings for chocolate, I get cravings for real […]
Tapioca Biriyani
Saturday, February 10th, 2007Filed Under Cassava or Tapioca or Kappa, India - Kerala, Pork, Recipes, Rice Or Biryani | 2 Comments
Tapioca known as Cassava or Yuka (Kappa in Malayalam) is one of the staples in Kerala. Normally, “kappa vevichadu” is a preparation of tapioca boiled and mashed with ground coconut and spice mixture. This is normally served with fish curry or meat curry. This used to be a poor man’s meal, but now a days it is even served in five star restaurants in Kerala, it has become a delicacy.

I first had Tapioca Biriyani here in the US from […]
