THALI WITH FISH ...

Hello friends

Today the Thali which I share with you is a fusion and shows how diverse our culture and food habits are

The menu is…

Chole or chickpea curry which is a north Indian dish which is very commonly cooked all over India

Karela or bitter gourd stir fried with a little spicy masala powder

Surmai and prawn fry . Here fish is fried in a typical Gaon way by applying chilli, haldi, garlic paste got together with a little tamarind water.

you have to then shallow fry the fish.

Roti, I had also made Rice and dal which is not in the picture as I serve it when the Rotis are eaten. Like Rice is the second course in the main course..

DAILY THALI .. with clams

Today my lunch Thali which I am sharing with you has a classic meal which I make when I get clams at the fish market. We at home and also in most of our Hindu Goan homes , clams are made in a dry and wet curry form and they are made with one shell called (ek shipi) the other shell is discarded.

As I said earlier I plan my meal in such a way that if I have a spicy curry I will have a very lightly spiced second dish to go along with it.

My meal today has.

Teesryo or clam sukha (dry clams curry)

Simple cabbage vegetable

A cup of sol kadi or coconut milk curry which is not cooked

Roti and rice (not in the picture)

MY DAILY MEALS

Hi 

Friends, 

It’s been a very long time since we have communicated with each other. I used to take a lot of pictures and make lots of dishes to share with you and it so happened that my regular camera with which I was comfortable with ,would not work as expected and that put me a little back my regular posting of recipes.

But it’s been a long time and I really miss blogging a lot and so I have decided that I will be sharing my daily meals which I click with my mobile.

I can also share recipes with you if request them in the comments section.

 I try my best to click pictures of my day to day meals regularly so that it’s of help to those who are confused as to what to cook for the day. I make a complete whole meal for lunch which includes vegetables and fish too.Off course you won’t find fish or chicken very often but I try to make something non-veg at least twice a week.

 My menu is always made taking into consideration the type of food I make i.e. I make a light vegetable if I make a spicy fish curry, or if I make plain non- spicy dal I will always make a nice spicy vegetable and fry something to go with it. So I hope that those of you who are looking out for combinations while cooking their meals will be benefited.

Off course I will be also adding some new recipes as and when I can , But I do not know how good the pictures will be , I will wait for all my friends to comment and let me know if you would like me to continue as I have planned.

Here is the Thali I would like to share with you…

This is a Thali which can be commonly seen in a Goan home. Probably only one veg and fish curry is done but I love my salads and so try to incorporate salads whenever possible.

The menu is

Mackerel fish curry with ginger

Bhendi or okra in coconut gravy..This is a very light and non-spicy curry with goes very well with this hot and sour fish curry

Carrot koshambir or salad.. Here I have finely chopped carrots and tempered it like a simple vegetable. My favorite I love its sweet and tangy taste

Cucumber

Roti or chapatti

Rice which is never in my picture as I serve it after the chapatti is eaten , But rice is always eaten for lunch with the fish curry or dal or curd .

Try this combination its really yum...
