The lovely, fresh-tasting Ginger Chicken
Indeed. Is there anyone who doesn’t like fried rice…
If anyone still underrates dal as delicious food then take a look at this…
Just imagine – a large, banana leaf filled with up with many wildly flavourful and addictively vegetarian curries sitting alongside servings of dhal (lentils), spicy vegetables and a guaranteed-to-be-yummy dessert payasam. This is the way of serving a Kerala sadhya. Among Dal plays an important role with his companion ghee (clarified butter)
There are many more variations of Dal… it differs from state to state, city to city, home to home.
A dal or parippu is a must for a Sadya. Daal is the first course to have with rice. It is served with ghee. The aroma of melted ghee over hot rice and dal is really a great way to start a meal.
This one is a true heirloom recipe. Simple, though very delicious!!

Masala omelette
I discovered this on the beaches of Goa at about three in the morning. It certainly helps the munchies late at night but also makes a nice, spicy breakfast snack.
Serves: 1. Preparation and cooking time: 10 minutes
• Knob of butter or oil
• 1/2 clove garlic
• Two eggs (duck eggs are great)
• 1/4 cup of milk
• 1/2 red chilli and 1/2 green chilli chopped (double if you really like it hot)
• Pinch of salt and pinch of pepper
• Coriander, chopped to garnish
1. Whisk eggs with milk, add chilli, salt and pepper and mix.
2. Heat butter over a hot heat.
3. Fry garlic for 20-30 seconds.
4. Tip in the egg mixture and cook, tipping the pan regularly so the omelette is evenly cooked.
5. Garnish with coriander and serve with a spoonful of lime pickle.
