Welcome to My Kitchen

I started cooking 20 years ago, and every day has been a new experience. You might not believe it but i was a person who could not fry an egg...but 20 years on..i feel i can take on any challenge.

I'm constantly trying out new recipes and looking for innovative ways to improvise my dishes and make it more easier. The easier the cooking gets and the less time it takes the more time for me to relax with my loved one.
But easy and quick does not mean compromise on taste or the way a dish is presented. I take great pride in decorating my dishes as i am a firm believer of ' The first impression counts'.

I decided to start this blog to help others like me discover that cooking a feast does not require slogging for hours in the kitchen all it requires is the right ingredients, tools and a creative mind and voila! you will have your family and guests begging for second helpings....

My inspiration for cooking has always been my husband...he loves his food..and like the saying goes 'A way to a man's heart is through his stomach'..i can confidently say it's true and it works wonders for a happy relationship...but he is also my best critic and competition.

I've got two little girls both who love to eat, and my eldest always enjoys helping me in the kitchen. I will try to post more kid friendly recipes that can be fun to eat and make together.

Hope you enjoy this blog and find it useful...please do feel free to leave any feedback or comments...remember there's always room for improvement!!!

Aad Maas (Goan Pork Bones/Ribs Curry)


Ingredients:


1 tbsp oil
1 kg pork ribs , cut into medium pieces

8-10 red chillies
2 onions, chopped
Salt & pepper for seasoning



For the masala


6-8 cloves
6-8 flakes of garlic
1 inch ginger
1 cinnamon stick
1 tsp whole cumin
2 cardamon pods
8-10 peppercorns
1 tsp turmeric powder
1/2 tsp red chilli powder
1 tsp cumin powder
2 tbsp red wine vinegar
50 ml water






Method:


1. Blend together the masala ingredients and marinate the pork for atleast 1 hr. Add some water to the blender and shake. Keep this liquid to make gravy.


2. Heat oil in the saucepan or cooking pot. Add the red chillies, fry for a minute and then add the chopped onions and kokum. Cook until the onions are translucent.


3. Add in the meat ( don't add the liquid) and fry for few minutes. Add the liquid (from the marinade and blender). Cook on low heat until meat is tender. If you require gravy little water can be added, but boil well to thicken the sauce.


Season and serve with boiled rice.
