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!!!

Goan Fiery Pork Ribs

This is a spicy red thick curry sauce but although it is hot and fiery, it is lip smackingly good.




Ingredients:

For the masala

20 red Kashmiri chilies
8 flakes garlic
1 inch ginger
1 tsp cumin seeds
8 peppercorns
1 tsp turmeric powder
1 small marble sized tamarind ball soaked in water
1 tsp sugar
6 cloves
1 cinnamon stick
1 1/2 tbsp vinegar

Grind all the ingredients and store in an air tight jar, you can use for fish/meat marinades

1 kg pork ribs, marinated with the above masala and salt for seasoning
2 large onions, finely chopped
1 tomato, finely chopped
Freshly ground pepper and salt for seasoning

Method:

1. In a deep saucepan, heat some oil and fry the chopped onions, until lightly golden. Add the tomatoes and cook until it becomes a paste and oil separates.

2. Mix in the pork ribs, fry till juices are sealed. Add little water for light gravy and season. Cook till meat is tender. Serve with a side of vegetable or salad.
