How to Cook:
Marinate the chicken pieces and vegetables with the marinate ingradients. Refrigerate for half an hour.
I keep a set of tooth picks handy. I use them to align chicken pieces and vegetables together. Once you have set the the tooth picks with chicken, capsicum, tomato , onion , carrot/cabbage/mashroom combination, put it into to shallow fry with olive oil or vegetable oil.
A tea spoon of butter brings a different flavour altogether if you want.  Let all four side cook by turing them in every 5 minutes in low heat. Once al sides are cooked serve it hot with boiled pasta and curd/salad. Njoy! :)

Idly & Tomato Chutney

I hate idly.. But I love Dosa. This was me before my chennai life. Two years in chennai made me an Idly lover. It is an easy to make break fast. I am proud to make good idly's consistently. I dont mind sharing the secret with you. Afterall sharing yeilds to happiness..:)

Ingradients
1)Idly rice - 2 cups
2)Urd Dal - 1 cup and a tbl spoon extra
3)Salt to taste
Preparation

Soak Rice and Urd dal in water 6 to 8 hours in seperate bowls. Grind the urd dal. and rice seprately. Urd dal mix has to be be as smooth as possible. After grinding you can see some bubbles in the top.If you love sooooft idlys then grind the rice like urd. If not leave very little particles in it. mix well both batters together. The batter consistency should not be too loose and too thick. I know your doubt how will I know what it means too loose and too thick.. ;-).

Let me try to help you out. When I grind urd dal in mixy the level of water would be 1/3 rd of rice higher or two inch high. For rice it just the water level 2 cm above rice.

If you didnt get it Dont worry. Trust your feeling. If you feel the batter is thick , definitly not ,ok go ahead with that is my suggestion.

Keep the batter overnight for 10 hours. Add sault to taste. And keep for 1hr.
Apply oil in the idly maker and pour the batter into it. And -- it for 10 -15 minutes in medium flame. And your idly is ready.
It is 6.22 A.M 3rd Feb 2012. My Idly batter is waiting for me. And Tomato is still in fridge. Wow! I am so happy to cook today. Bye bye..

Wow I Cook!

I started cooking in 2005. I was sharing a house with my 5 collegues. We started our experiments in the kitchen in that Tambaram House. I was not passionate about cooking. The food from office foodcourt were not satisfying our tastes. We used to cherish the tastes of mother's food every now and then. And that was the begining.
Each of us had different food habits and tastes as we came from different districts of kerala. "Too many cooks spoiled the broath" there I knew what this sentence means. The best recepie we used to have was potato curry(sort of fry..). Fish Curry was FLOP which I realize now even though it was superb those days!

In 2008 I moved to Bangalore with my Husband.Being a housewife .. yea.. I started regular cooking. Breakfast, Lunch, Dinnner. There was nothing special about my cooking. I would say it was below average.
Then, when? ............When ? ..And when I started putting my soul into Cooking? I will answer ..Wait..
In 2009 one day at office, my lunch mate commented on my tiffin. He was never interested on my tiffin items. And that day he said he is so proud that his wife cook well. :(.. I became sad. My poor husband. OK. Let me see what I can do..I started experimenting.. I made Biriyani, Fried Rice, Payasam. humm. Not bad.. I tried again. But it is not coming good second time.. So whats missing..
Let me share the secret with you. The knowledge and observation was missing. When you have passion the knowledge and observation ll happen naturally. You will feel the thurst for the tastes and smell then. And thank god for the passion thy have given me. I know what you are thinking now. No... I am not a good cook yet. But I cook good at times and I can cook the same with the same tase. Have a look at the recepies I tried and became a hit@my home.
