South Indian Chicken Curry / Chicken Pulusu : Side Dish

I was never comfortable making non vegetarian dishes in my kitchen and so we always have it only when we go out for lunch/dinner. My daughter turned out to be a fan of chicken curry and she wanted it at least once a week. I didn't have an option but to start making non-veg dishes at home. I started with this simple chicken curry and it turned out good for the very first time itself. Now it has become a routine that I make chicken curry every Sunday !

Chicken Curry / Chicken Pulusu - South Indian Style

Semiya Payasam : Sweet / Dessert

There are a lot of poojas and vrathams I perform every year and having a kid at home I look up to the simplest dishes I could make, so that I could have variety and yet make them all tasty. This month I have Gowri vratham that I perform usually around the Diwali time on a No Moon Day. I had to make a sweet along with so many other dishes, so I chose to stick to the most simple sweet - semiya payasam. Today I will share the recipe for the same.

Green Peas Masala : Side Dish

I never plan any posts here and it just happens that I share a lot of North Indian sides recipe one after the other or South Indian mains continuously ! So following the current trend here, it is an North Indian side dish that I am going to share here today. This is one of my most favorite sides that would go well with rotis and at the same time compliments Pulao and Jeera Rice too. The mere thought of it makes me drool and it is nothing but Green Peas Masala.

Palak Panner : Side Dish

I have been cooking a lot of South Indian dishes these days and South Indian dishes would be hubby's preference any day. To take a break I made my all time favourite palak panner. I used to make this dish at least once every week but yesterday I realised that I hadn't made this for more than a month ! While I was making this I couldn't wait to relish this with hot steaming parathas. Only then I remembered that I hadn't shared the recipe here. So here is my favourite panner side dish on the blog today.

Drumstick Cashew Nut Masala [Munakkaya Jeedipappu Masala] : Side Dish

Today I am sharing another simple side dish that would go well with rice. This is a rich and thus a very filling dish because of the presence of cashews - one of my favorite ingredient in my curries. Cashews give a different flavor to the curry and it makes the dish finger licking good. Its richness makes it an amazing dish even for kids. I had too many drumsticks with me and drumstick sambhar was boring so for a change I tried this and it was a super hit in my kitchen !
