Kaara Chutney
This is a simple chutney that I love to have with dosas. Its spicy and tangy and the perfect combination to a nice, hot and crispy dosa.
Do try making this simple chutney, guys. Its very different from the usual coconut chutney.
Happy Cooking.

Homemade Chilli Flakes
มุมมอง 94221 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา
Hi everyone, for some years now, I have been making my own spice powders. I try as much as possible to make things from scratch whenever I can. The food definitely tastes better and I feel happier as well, knowing that my spice powders are clean and fresh. However, this is not always possible due to time constraint and the effort it takes. Making chilli flakes, on the other hand is quite simple...
Ridge Gourd with Chicken
มุมมอง 11114 วันที่ผ่านมา
This is a really delicious recipe, everyone. I never liked vegetables of the gourd variety as a child and even when I was well into my teens. It was only in adulthood that I started appreciating the nutritional value of these vegetables and in time I actually begun to appreciate and enjoy the taste as well. This is one of my favourite recipes. It was a stirfry that my mother used to make that I...

Sambar is a traditional South Indian Lentil Stew. You can make this stew with Turmeric and Chilli Powder. But if you want a really delicious authentic Tamilian flavour, do try making this sambar podi to add to this dish. The Sambar comes alive and is extra tasty.
Mutton Dalcha
มุมมอง 123หลายเดือนก่อน
Hi everyone, today I would like to show you a recipe that I make every year on Deepavali. It is called Dalcha which is like a mutton stew with lentils. This recipe can also be made with lamb or chicken which will be equally delicious. A point to remember is that incorporating meat with bones instead of boneless meat would be more flavorful. Do give this recipe a try, everyone. Happy Deepavali, ...
Sothi my style
มุมมอง 106หลายเดือนก่อน
Hi everyone, I realise that there are many videos that I have done in 2023 and not posted. So as of this posting I am going to try to post as my earlier videos as quickly as I can so there is no stark difference in my style of deliverance. In this video I am making a basic South Indian Sothi, which is essentially a soup made with coconut milk. I’ve varied this dish a little by adding some prawn...

@@kamilawahab7742 Hi, at the moment I use store bought fish curry powder. The brand name that I use is ‘Baba’s’. 😊
@ thank you 😊
Please could you tell me the fish masala you use
Madam when you say tablespoon what spoon size are you referring to? Is it normal size eating spoon? I see frm video the tablespoon is quite small. Tq
Hi dear, I was using a normal tablespoon. The kind that we use to eat. However, this depends on how thick you want the curry to be. If you want a thicker curry, do add more curry powder. ❤

Hi guys…. I chose this song thinking that it was about the city of Adelaide, only to find out that it’s abt a love story that is part of the writer’s family history. It’s about the love shared by the writer’s family , a girl called Adelaide and a sailor. ❤it’s a beautiful song nonetheless…
NO. MILK. IN THE. CAKE. THAT. LOOKS. NOCE
Tastes a whole lot better too whether in dishes or for something to munch 😉

Thank you so much for saying that. Makes me feel very encouraged. And yes! I do have very fond memories of a childhood in a place that was so secluded and yet so nourishing. ❤️
My mom used to cook sardine curry the same way for the family when we were young. Now, when i cook sardine curry, at times i add hard boiled eggs too.😊
Hey, that’s nice to know. Hard boiled eggs? That sounds lovely too. Yummy!❤️
No milk
Yes, I don’t normally add milk.
I've been influenced by her too. Have to make this.

A very healthy dish. Gonna try it !!.Thanks Shaki.
Thanks Lourdes. ❤
Really interesting to see the unique twists / hybridization of traditional Indian dishes by diaspora PIOs! Wonder from which part of South India this dish originated.
Not sure of the origin of this dish. But I assume it’s from either Tamil Nadu, Kerala or Andra Pradesh. I see similarities in their cuisine. I love traditional dishes. However, in Malaysia, Thanni Saar very often has the addition of anchovies or dried shrimp, which is very tasty too. I call it the Malaysian twist. 😃
Sounds like it may be from TN. Saar could be short for Saru which means juice extracted from any veg. Thanni we know is water. It may have been a nutritious gravy to go with rice in a part of TN where murungai keerai is prolific. One of the places it is found is in Thiruvannamalai. I spent a few years in Chennai (I also belong to the Indian diaspora - South Africa), but never came across this dish thanni saar!
@@sekharsubramoney5848Most Indians in Malaysia are from Tamil Nadu, so this is a well known dish amongst the Tamils. It is indeed very interesting how Indian food assimilates with the local foods and culture. I have heard of a chicken curry that is eaten with bread in SA. I’m sure there’s a lot more that I haven’t heard of… 😊 Your description of Thanni Saar is spot on. 👍
Now I am craving - making this! So easy to throw together after a busy day 😊The avarakai dish from your youtube recipe was so good ❤
Thank you so much Sharmila. Glad you tried the Avarakaai recipe. ❤️
Thanks for this dish Shaki.. Always wanted to try it. To combinate with fried fish will be heaven.❤
You’re welcome, Lourdes. ❤️
Nice to get into the Raya mood.
Going to make this soon. Do i need to soak the dried shrimp 1st? Never sure about that 😊
Yes, Just for a few minutes before you wash them.
