Season 2 – Mangalorean Plated Meal Series – Boshi#41 – Rice, Southekayi Huli, Fried Sardines & Carrot Kosumbari
While sifting through my recipes today I realised that there was a whole bunch of ‘boshi’ images that I hadn’t posted yet! Wait, did I tell you that this bunch was the one I salvaged from my spare hard disk? Well, as the story goes, sometime in November, my external hard disk crashed and it had the backed up data that was on my computer which had crashed a couple of months prior to this grand event. I never imagined that…

Garlic & Capsicum Chicken
Garlic & Capsicum Chicken -a stunning accompaniment to fried rice or noodles. I am such a huge fan of Indo-Chinese food that I often try to dabble in some recipes in order to recreate the magic of restaurant food at home. In the past, I failed several times but over the period of time I have come to realise that to make good Chinese food at home, you need to have the basic bunch of condiments and ingredients and some…
Rava Idli (Using Idli Rava/Rice Rava)
Rava Idli ~ The one thing that my husband has actually craved for and pestered me to make 🙂 Honestly, I was happy with the readymade idli/dosa batter that is available in the supermarket because despite trying several combinations of rice and dal I could never get the perfect batter. Either the batter wouldn’t rise or the flavour wouldn’t be the same. Then I concluded that it wasn’t my cup of tea. I couldn’t possibly slave over perfecting the same…
