Since we moved from Bahrain in 2001, we shifted to a quite neighborhood which was close to Kemmannu, yup, that place is called Santhekatte, Kallianpur. Then, we decided to keep the name of our house, then a few weeks later, our house got a name "Al Suffah". It has 2 bedrooms on the ground floor and 1 bedroom upstairs with a balcony, 2 sitting rooms (one up and one down), a dinning hall, a store room and of course my favorite of all the kitchen room with a pantry.
From breakfast to dinner, the kitchen room is everything. From the steamy idlis and crispy dosas, appa dosas, tej seviyaan and omlettes for breakfast to the aromatic curries and vegetable dishes for dinner. But also the yummiest cakes and the ramadan treats. We search for every recipe ranging from chicken, mutton, cauliflower,fish, prawns, rice, dal to cakes, noodles and pizzas as well as Cuisines ranging from Indian, Continental to Italian and Middle Eastern. Every Friday, there was a special meal and it includes green chicken curry and vegetable pulao as well as kasoori methi chicken and chapati, mangalore chicken curry (we called it tuesday chicken curry) and neer dosa, chicken 65 etc. But for Sundays, fish curries, fish fry along with tomato saar is a staple. Throughtout Ramadan, we had chapati and some accompaniments for sehri but for iftaar, it was life a feast. We can cook the staple of iftaar i.e., the chicken cutlets as well as some pakodas and samosas, oats, sooji, fruits, potato bondas etc.
In order to search for recipes, we refer to the cooking books of Nita Mehta as well as the cookery shows on TLC (Formerly known as Discovery Travel and Living) of Nigella Lawson, Kylie Kwong, Rachel Allen to name a few. We also seached for recipes online. When we get the recipes, we followed the instructions given in the cooking books, as well as online. Next time, when you go to the kitchen, hve fun and say "Bon appetite".
