Most of the time, I just blog on whatever is cooking in my house or whatever catches my fancy. It could be a new cookbook, a vegetable from the farmer's market, a grilled item, a style of cooking or something I ate and just want to replicate. If I like something at someone's house, I always ask for the recipe and most of them part with their trade secrets willingly (he he some unwillingly:)). So I have a collection of my favourite recipes now. Also, each time someone asks a question, I learn something new. So I am welcome to suggestions to make the blog more interactive than a monologue on my part.
If you are looking for a recipe for a favorite dish, mail me a request, or respond as a comment to this post. Time permitting and if I am familiar with the dish/recipe, I will definitely try to post the recipe for you. Please be warned though, that I may not be able to respond to your request right away.
malabar alisa recipe please
ReplyDeletethanks
he he heeeeee.... hyderabadi biriyani pleasseeeee
ReplyDeleteHave heard a lot abt mutta maala... can u post the recipe and a picture of the dish?

All the biryanis you know pretty please ;-)
ReplyDeleteMutta mala, please please please!!! Thank you.
ReplyDeletehey shaheen, I am looking for more grilled vegetable recipes which are healthy. Not much oil. Vegetables that can be cooked in oven rather than stove top.
ReplyDeleteMoplah Biriyani and kerala porotta, Pleaaaseee !
ReplyDeleteanother vote for muttamaala...
ReplyDeleteI have it in my recipe book and have attempted it once. Don't know it came out good...have never tasted the real thing! so I can't make a comparison.
I am sure I will get more inspiration when you blog about it..with your beautiful pictures.
Would love to see some spicy malabar recipe modified to use salmon!

hey shaheen, If time permits please post a few recipes for Non-veggie snacks. I am running out of recipes i have in my little note book. :) especially when the same ppl come over & over, its weird to have the same dish over & over. U know what i mean :)?
ReplyDeletebtw, you invited me over for tea..but where in randolphville? :) I live on Morris Ave. Oh god! I can't believe you live so close to me.

ReplyDeleteShaheen,
ReplyDeleteI would love to see more traditional food from you. Food you would love to pass on to your children and food that are slowly disappearing from the dinner tables back in Kerala.
I would also love to read some background information about the dishes and the ingredients. You already do that. This is just to tell you that, i really appreciate that and would love you to keep doing it. If that's alright with you, ie.
Will be back with more specific requests. :)

Hi,

Dear Shaheen,
ReplyDeleteBig thank you for wonderful biryani recipe. Please do post your grandmother's exact traditional recipe when you have time, because these old traditions are so much in danger of disappearing. Once posted, they become sort of immortalized!
Also, in the traditional biryani, is the meat used somewhat fatty or lean, and what cuts are best? Ribs,neck, front shoulders? Your grandmother will surely have advice about this also. Thank you very much. Be well.

Afrin, i had posted a recipe for jeera kanji. that's what we make. i don't know what is ashali though. some one else also commented on the kanji that they use ashali and coriander powder, but we use it this way. just search for jeera kanji under malabar recipes on my side bar.
ReplyDeleteHi Shaheen
ReplyDeleteI've been looking for Palaada(appam) recipe for a very long time - given up now :(
Its yet another pancake, we eat with non-veg curries. Its very thin, light and melts in your mouth and totally yummy !!
Whenever i type in Palaada, all i get is the payasam recipes, not wat i am looking for.
So u r my only hope !! Must add - i'm an avid follower and you have helped me a lot in my early days and still do (not that u require verbal-bribing ;))....
sonya, i think u are looking for palappam from your descibtion. If u just search for palappam + blogs, u will get a lot of recipes. "mishmash" has a good recipe for it too.
ReplyDeletehi shaheen,

ReplyDeleteHey Sheen,
ReplyDeleteI made some spaghetti with tomato sauce the other day, but it felt like it was missing something. I did not add any spices to the pasta, and I was wondering what kind of spices you would recommend to give the spaghetti a distinctive flavor?
Thanks a bunch,
-Brenda.
