STUFFED SAMBAL FISH

A favourite ever since I was small...really delicious with a plate of hot rice.

Started off with just about 500 grams of vade just in case it didnt work out well. It must have tasted ok cos the plate disappeared within minutes. I made it with extra unblended dhall and added dried chillies as well as indian curry to taste. Suits us just fine. Eat it piping hot and the taste is just heavenly. Verdict from my kids: better than the Club's. My..my..they sure know how to motivate their mum so that the food keeps on coming!

WELCOME

NOTHING FANCY, JUST HOME-COOKED FOOD FOR THE FAMILY
First off, let me qualify that I am a rookie at this. Hardly have time to cook fancy dishes and hardly a great cook, but don't think that should deter me from trying to put a tasty meal on the dinner table. With kids who are adventurous with food and generous with their compliments, I am motivated somewhat to dish out the best I can. Not to the extent of cooking up a storm (not that I can, anyway) but enough to create something to look forward to for the family. My kitchen experiments don't always turn out well and I have my fair share of disasters. (that's when I wish I was fasting rather than feasting). But when it's made with love, food doesn't really need to be great tasting to be appreciated.

So welcome to my humble foodie blog and follow my kitchen trails as I share my spills and thrills in the kitchen. Shown here are proudly some of the dishes I have labored on with some amount of success. Given that stuff I cook don't always turn out the way they should, its nice to be able to capture them when they do. You'll also find comments and reviews of food joints I have visited. Don't know if I can keep it up but hey, a dose of blogging has proven to do wonders to my sometimes mind-bloggling day.P.S For the time being, can only manage a photo blog, no time to post the "how to's" but would be happy to share.
