Tuna Fry

I made tuna fry and potato curry for dinner yesterday with chapathis.
I love tuna as it needs very little oil n has very versatile taste to it.
I love to have sandwiches made with tuna and mayo or tuna n sweetcorn !!


My recipe is enticing with its simple ingredients and a quick dish which need just 10 min to make.
As for additions,
1 onion
4 green chillies
lots of curry leaves
coriander
lemon


You can fancy it up by adding black olives, sundried tomatoes finely chopped, sweet corn

One of the quickest dish to make but the taste is never so alluring as my child and hubby devoured this wonderful fry with chapathis along with potato curry.


how to cook:
fry onions and chillies in 1 tbsp of oil or less, add curry leaves and fry for few min.
then add tuna steak and cook for couple of min or until it has loosen its color.Now add turmeric, salt and chilli powder and fry for few more mins

Garnish with chopped coriander and squeeze ½ lemon.
Have it with chapathis or u can use it as stuffing in your sandwiches, pitta or anything!!

Fruit Salad with Custard

This simple summer fruit salad is best made with very ripe fruit as it contains no additional sugar


The combination of fruit can be varied according to the season, making use of strawberries and cherries early in the summer, and grapes and plums later on. Serve it with custard for a special occasion, otherwise it makes a delicious light desert on its own.

For the fruit salad:
Finely chopped
Apples
Bananas
Mango
Peaches
Seedless grapes
Pineapple
Kiwi fruit
I like to add whatever fruits available in the season.
1 tablespoon lemon juice
For the custard :
1 pint whole milk 2 tablespoons vanilla custard powder 1 tablespoons sugar
Mix the custard powder and sugar in couple of tbsps of milk and keep it aside.
Heat the milk in saucepan and when it starts boiling, pour this milk into the custard mix and mix it thorougly and pour it back into the sauce pan and simmer until the custard thickens.

Let it cool and add all thefruits and keep it in the fridge and serve .

Mango Dal

I got these mangoes from our local Indian grocery store, kerala stores

I feel like eating mangoes any time of the year and whats more wonderful then welcome with a special touch for this season .This Mango dal tastes yummm! The tangy tastes just adds xtra flavour to the dish.

After Long day at work completely stessed out, promised noel to take for a swim but just couldn’t .
I wanted to cook and have a nice spicy meal.
my mouth was literaly watering when i was making, those mangoes i bought was so raw and fresh that i couldn’t leave them in the fridge


We had with beans thoran and potato fry!! It was heavenly!!!
