PALLIPALAYAM CHICKEN FRY

by Leave a Comment

This recipe is super simple to make.The flavor comes from coconut oil, garlic, and dry red chilies.


 Pallipalayam (பள்ளிபாளையம்) is located close to Erode.  I tried this “pallipalayam chicken” with a friend this time in Chennai in a restaurant called “erode mess”. Obviously I am a vegetarian so I just tasted the masala. I liked it so I wanted to try it here. 

I would suggest using shallots for this. I did not have it so I used the onions. So 🙂 Try using shallots.

Mushroom Masala Quick Recipe

by 1 Comment

We all need quick recipes these days.

This is one of the quickest recipes I made one day as a side dish to poori. Came out good so thought will share it.

Typing a recipe after 45 days or so. My admin has been very kind enough to maintain my social media with all the content I gave her and responding timely on her messages. Thanks to her! She pushes me to provide her content on a timely manner when I hide from social media. I owe you a lunch, Girl!

Been some tough days that I can’t express with everything happening. Then, last few days was even more worse with Covid. Recovering…

Heard from my neighbor on Mercury Retrograde that this is all happening as Universe is telling me something. People who knows me know I don’t believe in all this.. But this is so strong with every day and nothing seems to work out! I am fed up and May be this is universe. At this point, no use blaming the universe and it is just me.

whatever… Life will go on… I will breathe like everybody else! 🙂

Spicy Salmon fry

Salmon SPicy fry3


This is a simple salmon fry recipe but flavorful mainly because of coconut oil and coconut. Spicy and Authentic.

The flavor on this recipe mainly comes from coconut oil and a good chili powder. Please try using fresh ginger and garlic rather than using ginger garlic paste. It makes a lot of difference. Try marinating at least for thirty minutes. Even overnight is good. The flavors get in. Also massage the Salmon with the marination. Don’t worry about getting your hands messy. Worth the mess!
