Potatoes with Fenugreek leaves

                                                          Fresh Fenugreek leaves

The neutral taste of Potatoes with  the bitter taste of Fenugreek leaves combines to make an absolute delight for vegetarians or potato lovers.

This North Indian delight takes 15 min of preparation time and 10 min of cooking time. Main task is to clean the Fenugreek leaves. It takes around 10 minutes to pluck the leaves and 5 min to boil potatoes. After separating the leaves, chop potatoes into small cubes. After this, sauté it in a pan with finely chopped fenugreek leaves.

Fresh methi leaves vs dried ones
I prefer fresh methi leaves from vegetable store than the dried ones. If you don't have time or a ton a patience, then you can use dried Fenugreek leaves ( kasoori methi).

Cheers,

Marina

Grilled Fish

Blue Trevally After Grilling

Grilled Blue Trevally - Vatta Fish
Couldn't help sharing this grilled fish with you folks. Recently the grill bug has got hold of me. This is making me "Grill crazy". Now I"m into all kinds of grilling in my OTG. If you're still reluctant to grill, then let this picture prompt you to try out in your kitchen.

Now I stopped oil fry and it's only grilled fish. After few trial and error methods you'll learn to make a perfect grille fish.

Use a non-stick pan and wrap the fish in butter paper and then cover it with aluminium foil. This covering will retain the moisture, and taste of the fish. Well, if you're keen to get the taste of roast, then grill it in the pan without covering it with foil paper.

Before you buy fish!
Many times my hubby was fooled by the fisher women in Trivandrum, Kerala. I don't know how they convince him to buy rotten fish!

Buying fish in Bangalore
If you're buying fish in Bangalore, I suggest you to head for the fish shop early in the morning. Select fish from the fresh stock. With every passing hour, the freshness will slide down.

Loaded Kerala Lunch

Looking back at few lip smacking lunches, I found this from my picture library. This fully loaded lunch had fish curry, parava fry, egg curry, carrot thoran, dal, and pickle. I remember eating to my heart's delight, and did'nt stop with one serving. 

Chicken Wings Lunch

Green Peas Pulao and Alu Methi
What makes a delightful Sunday Lunch? Today I had a new item for my lunch. I had these tasty chicken wing grill along with peas pulao, alu methi and cutlet. In fact, I felt this lunch too heavy with all these attractive add ons. Since I didn't get time to make salad, I settled for low fat Nestle curd.

Why don't you try combination at your house? Apart from cutlet, rest of it is takes less time and money. I'm sure kids and grown up people will love this beautiful lunch idea. Pls give further suggestion or comments, to improve my trials
