Pin It Prawns, eh?!! Yum! This recipe is so easy to prepare and mouthwateringly delicious—trust me! Both my kids, including my youngest who is a fussy eater, totally love this. A family favorite, it is, and my crowning glory at home. Why not make it yours!?? Kerala Style, Spiced, Aromatic Prawn/Shrimp Roast — Chemmeen Roast Ingredients Serves 4 500g prawns or shrimps, peeled and deveined 3 teaspoon kashmiri chili powder 1 teaspoon turmeric powder 1 green chili, slit 1 inch fresh ginger piece 5 sprig curry leaves, divided Salt, to taste 2 cups water, plus extra for grinding 2 tablespoon oil, or more (use coconut oil for authentic taste) Directions Grind ginger, green chili, 2 sprig curry leaves, turmeric powder and chili powder to a smooth paste, adding a small amount of water. In a heavy-based pan, combine the masala paste with the water and place over medium-low heat. Tip in the prawns and season. Simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until prawns are tender. Then increase the heat and boil the liquid until thick and reduced, stirring often. When most of the liquid has been absorbed and the prawns are coated with the marinade, drizzle generously with oil. Taste and season, if needed. Add remaining curry leaves — or as much as you like — and cook over very low heat for a few more minutes. Ah, at this stage, don't forget to enjoy the smell of the roasting prawns wafting through the kitchen, whetting your appetite! And, take care not to scorch the marinade. Remove from heat when the prawns start to crisp and turn golden brown. Serve warm with steamed rice. Note: This is a spicy preparation. Feel free to omit green chili and adjust the kashmiri chili powder for a milder version. Hungry for more? Check out my other prawn recipes.

Kolmi no Patio is a dish usually eaten with Mora Dal Chawal (Dhan-Dar-Patio), in most Parsi households. It’s a very simple dal, quite similar to the Maharashtrian Varan-bhaat. The Patio, though, adds immense ‘oomph’ to the humble but delicious dar/dal. We Parsi’s usually cook Patio for lunch on auspicious occasions like birthdays, navjotes, etc. Ingredients: 30 medium sized prawns, de-veined and washed 5 to 6 large onions, finely chopped 4-5 green chilies, finely chopped 1 teaspoon jeera-cumin seeds 7-8 large tomatoes, halve-grate-discard skin or puree (I grated them) 1 teaspoon + 4 teaspoons red Deghi Mirch powder (I use MDH brand) ¼ teaspoon + ¾ teaspoon turmeric powder 1 heaped teaspoon coriander/cumin powder ½ teaspoon garam masala powder 2 heaped teaspoons Parsi Sambhar masala 1 teaspoon Dhanshak Masala ½ teaspoon black pepper powder 2 tablespoons ginger-garlic paste ½ teaspoon + Salt to taste 6 to 8 tablespoons oil (I’m never stingy with oil😜) Sugar to taste Malt Vinegar, to taste (add only if necessary - if the tomatoes aren’t tangy enough - I use Kolah’s Malt Vinegar) A handful of coriander leaves, chopped fine Method: Marinate the prawns with ½ teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon turmeric powder and 1 teaspoon red chili powder. Keep aside for 30 minutes. Heat oil and splutter jeera. Add onions and green chilies. Fry till onions are golden brown. Add the ginger-garlic paste and fry a bit. Add chili powder, turmeric powder, coriander/cumin powder, garam masala powder, Parsi sambhar masala, black pepper powder and Dhanshak masala. Sauté for a few seconds; do not allow the dry spices to burn. Add extra oil or a splash of water if the masala is too dry and begins to burn. (I add oil) Add the grated (or pureed) tomatoes and cook till the raw smell of the tomatoes is no longer evident and the oil separates. Add the chopped coriander leaves; save a few for garnish. Add prawns. When the prawns are nearly done, check the gravy for seasoning. Add sugar to taste. If the tomatoes haven’t lent enough tartness, add a wee bit of malt vinegar. (Important: The taste of the patio should be such that the wee bit of tartness and sweetness hits your palate as soon as you take a bite and the spiciness hits your palate a few seconds later and lingers on.) Once you achieve the balance of flavours suited to your palate, take the vessel off the stove. Garnish with a few coriander leaves and serve. Chef’s Notes: A variation that can be used for this dish: instead of chopping the onions you can grind them to a paste and then fry them. Feel free to use this same recipe for fish patio. Dhanshak masala and Parsi Sambhar masala do lend a Parsi touch/flavour to the dish but if not available, feel free to make the patio without these ingredients. If you do not have malt vinegar in your pantry, feel free to use brown or white vinegar; either will work just as well to achieve tartness; what will be lacking, though, is the heady whiff of malt vinegar. While this dish is usually served with Dhan-Dar, there are times when we merely eat it plain, with Brun pau.

Burmese egg curry is a beautiful way of presenting eggs. They’re first boiled, then peeled and fried in medium-hot oil. The smooth whites blister and firm up into an attractive golden crust. Only then are eggs cut in half and added to a sauce - here, a light tomato-based sauce that’s mildly chilli hot. Serve with rice or bread, a crisp salad, and a condiment like shallot and dried shrimp relish or a chilli–garlic sauce.

Chicken cutlets figure at the top of my brother's list of favourite foods - and not just any cutlets, but those made by us at Katy's Kitchen. These are fairly easy to make and as long as you're generous with the chicken and season the mix well you will get pretty good results. I often pack these in the hubby's lunch box and I like having a few of these in my fridge for days when I don't feel like eating a full meal. A warm cutlet sandwiched between two slices of bread makes for a lovely light lunch! Chicken Cutlets 1 cup shredded chicken 4 slices white bread 1 egg 1 small onion 1 small potato, boiled green chillies fresh coriander turmeric chilli powder garam masala salt bread crumbs eggs oil for frying Soak the bread in water and squeeze out as hard as you can. Break up the resulting lump into small pieces, as small as you can. Mince the onion, green chillies and fresh coriander as fine as possible. Mash the potato. In a large clean bowl mix the shredded chicken with the onions, chillies and coriander. Add the crumbled soaked bread, the egg and the dry spice powders. Mix everything properly. Add as much mashed potato as required to get a mix that will bind properly when you shape the cutlets. You can make this mix in advance and fry the cutlets when you want to serve. Store in a closed box in the fridge and use when required on the same day. Take bread crumbs in a flat dinner plate. Beat two eggs in a bowl. Start with two and only add more if you require them as you make the cutlets. Heat enough oil in a wok/kadhai to deep fry the cutlets. Make medium sized balls of the chicken mix and flatten to form a cutlet between your palms. Give the cutlet a neat oval shape and then place it on the bread crumbs. Pat gently into the crumbs to make them stick - do this on both sides of the cutlet. Make a few cutlets in this fashion and keep ready in a clean plate. When the oil is hot pick up a cutlet and dip it into the beaten egg. Turn to coat the cutlet all over with egg and then put it in the hot oil to fry. Fry on a medium flame till the cutlet is a beautiful golden colour. Do these one at a time just to be safe, especially if it's your first time making cutlets. Keep a bowl of water and a napkin handy to wash your hand and wipe before you pick up the next prepped cutlet for frying. This final process is a little fiddly and can get messy so make sure you have enough space to work in and have everything you need before you start frying. Serve the cutlets hot with a dollop of plain tomato ketchup.

The Melt in mouth Parsi Mutton Kebabs While every Parsi household has their own way of cooking delicacies, there is one thing common – it’s their love and respect for food, which makes it taste heavenly. Parsi Mutton Kebabs are typically served as starters to the Dhansak Meals typically on a lazy weekend afternoon. But I can make and eat them with any meal and I am sure so will you because making them is so very easy. Tips Don’t forget to add potatoes to the mince meat. Potatoes bind the meat and make the kebabs soft and succulent. Trivia about Kebabs Kabab, of which there are several distinct Persian varieties, is a national dish of Iran. Kebab may be served with either steamed, saffroned basmati or Persian rice or with Persian naan. Iran has more than seven types of kebab, which form a significant part of the Iranian diet. It is served with the basic Iranian meal accompaniments, in addition to grilled tomatoes on the side of the rice and butter on top of the rice. It is an old northern tradition (probably originating in Tehran) that a raw egg yolk should be placed on top of the rice as well, though this is strictly optional, and most restaurants will not serve the rice this way unless it is specifically requested. “Somagh”, powdered sumac, is also made available and its use varies based on tastes to a small dash on the rice or a heavy sprinkling on both rice and meat, particularly when used with red (beef/veal/lamb) meat. At Persian restaurants, the combination of one kabab barg and one kabab koobideh is typically called Soltani, meaning “sultan’s feast”. The traditional beverage of choice to accompany kebab is doogh, a sour yogurt drink with mint and salt. In the old bazaar tradition, the rice (which is covered with a tin lid) and accompaniments are served first, immediately followed by the kebabs, which are brought to the table by the waiter, who holds several skewers in his left hand, and a piece of flat bread (typically nan-e lavash) in his right. A skewer is placed directly on the rice and while holding the kebab down on the rice with the bread, the skewer is quickly pulled out. With the two most common kebabs, barg and koobideh, two skewers are always served. In general, bazaar kebab restaurants only serve these two varieties, though there are exceptions.
