Fish Masala Fry

I started eating fish around my wedding time. I was too picky and not liking fish too much. When my sister-in-law invited us for lunch she served this and forced me to taste. I must say I instantly fell in love with it. She said they prepare this with "maanji" that's "white/silver pomfret". 

After moving here we have been getting white pomfret very often. Though there are other fresh fish available at Ranch 99, we prefer this as it is originated from India and wild caught. We usually prepare this with rice and dalitoy which is a wonderful combination.

Asafoetida Chutney/ Hinga Chutney

I am not at all a "chutney person". I eat chutney only if I have nothing else. But this chutney is an exception. I really enjoy eating Ramdhan with this chutney. I got this recipe from my MIL and she said ramdhan is the best match for this chutney. She was so true. Now whenever I prepare ramdhan or ghatti I prepare this chutney without fail.

Vegetable Biryani

Long time back I used to prepare Egg Biryani very often. I always wanted to prepare it with simple vegetables and I could make it only last week. Well I do not use any biryani masala whenever I prepare this. I use whole spices from my kitchen. Both my husband and I dont like too much of cinnamon, cardamom and clove taste in our food and preparing this way helps me reduce or increase the spices quantity per our taste.
