Jeera Rice / Cumin Rice / Jeera Pulao

I make flavourful Jeera Rice for a change when I get bored with regular white rice. It goes well with any gravy which we usually prepare for variety rice. I make jeera rice very often with regular white rice and sometimes with basmati rice. I prefer alternative method(see notes) for regular cooking rice.

I want more cumin flavour on my dish. So, I am adding only a bay leaf not bunch of whole spices here because whole spices will be dominant over cumin. But its totally your choice.

South Indian Style Fish Fry

    Fish fry is the most delicious mouth watering non-veg recipe. It is also one of my favourite fish recipe... It can be served as a side dish or starter. Any fish will suit for this recipe like red snapper, rohu fish, king fish, pomfret, tilapia or even salmon etc.

    It is a common fish recipe in all south indian homes whoever eat fish. You can deep fry, shallow fry or even pan fry in a tawa if you are health conscious. Here I am going to shallow fry the fish. We generally use indian fishes like king fish, pomfret, red snapper etc. But here in USA, we rarely get indian fishes. So I am using golden pampano which matches perfectly to our south indian taste.

Lets see how to make it...

Vazhaipoo Vadai | Banana Flower Vadai

When i think of Vazhaipoo, the first recipe would come into my mind is Vazhaipoo Vadai rather than poriyal, kootu... I make vadai whenever i buy vazhaipoo. It is a helathy and crispy snack or side dish. Cleaning of vazhaipoo takes little bit of extra time. But it's worth to spend extra time on preparing a healthy recipe.

Capsicum Rice | Bell Pepper Rice

I decided my next recipe as Capsicum Rice when I posted Dahi Aloo. As I said in my previous post, Dahi Aloo and Capsicum Rice is a good and easy lunch combo. For this recipe, I prefer green capsicum rather than colored ones. Because green capsicum gives nice flavour and taste to this dish.

Now moving on to the recipe...

Dahi Aloo | Potato Curd Gravy

Dahi Aloo is a quick and easy to make but delicious recipe. We just need very few ingredients for this recipe. The only time consuming part is boiling the potatoes. I would say dahi aloo is more or like a south indian 'Mor Kuzhambu' recipe. I make Dahi Aloo as an accompaniment whenever I prepare Capsicum Rice or Jeera Rice.
