A very fishy post !! post no. 18

-


This is going to be a very fishy, non veg post today.... ;)

Well, being a Keralite I am bound to love my fish curry and I do but for the last few years I am unable to savour my fish fry and curries because of the stomach ache that I get the moment I eat any fish. 

 This problem started of with eggs, I could not eat eggs at all, the moment I eat it , I would be suffering from an aching stomach,  when consulted a doctor he said that some people have allergy to eggs, so you better stop eating it , so I did.  

Few years down the line I got the same problem when having fish. The only exception to this was sardine (or mathi) in Malayalam, my all time favourite fish, but last week when I had this I was aghast when just a few minutes after polishing off  a fish fry, my stomach started aching and how… so I did all the nuskhas I do to subside the same, the pain subsided but I am really hurt, this is not fair, even my favourite mathi is off limit for me now.  This was really the last  nail in the coffin as far as my love for eating fish  and especially sardine fry goes.

 Now I am left with the one and only option in fishes and that is prawns.. I love prawn curry and prawn fry, I really  hope this will not be joining the  list of other fishes and play  havoc in my tummy.  So now on wards it will be only mathi charu for me, no fried kashnam... ;)

How about you ?  do you like the tangy curries or the crispy fries… it is mathi or ayala for you ?? (this question  is for my Malayali blogger friends out there!!)

This picture of 'karimeen porichath' or 'pearl spot' (roast)  , kerala’s very own fish, is added to grace and complete  this very fishy post…


Sorry my vegetarian friends, I will soon do a post on 'Aviyal' too ;)

    I am not much of a fish-fan. I love prawns though. And one particular fish curry with kodam-puli and all which Amma makes in the typical naadan way.

    I hope prawns dont ditch you, Rekhu! Hope you get to enjoy relishing them :)

    The day I develop allergy to fish, I think I will just end my life. No point living after that, really :P
    You should consult an allergy specialist and figure out what anti-allergant you can take before each fishy meal :D No, seriously!
    The only fish I don;t like is that pinkish one, which is called "Sheelavu" or something in Trivandrum. I love Mathi fry, Aila curry and Kozhiyala varutharacha curry. My all time favourite though is Netholi! Fry, dry, curry - i love it in all forms! <3

    OMG!!! I am such a great fan of any type of fish that i am drooling over the picture and all the names of fish dishes mentioned in the comments of various readers.
    I also think that life is not worth living without fish. When you come to chennai, I am going to show you my skills in cooking fish. I also have a fetish for the vessel, " Meen chatti" in which fish curry is made. I have atleast 6 of them at home and would buy them still if i lay my eyes on them.

    this just can't be! eggs and fish... what will be life without them? i hope prawns will not abandon you ss. i've heard allergies can be won over by being exposed to it in small quantities on a regular basis. so this is your cue to get those prawns or sardine at regular intervals from now on but in small quantities..

Nature - My childhood friend

This is not a work of fiction, but it seems so, even to me who is the one who has experienced it all.  My memory of all that is being written here seems to have happened in some other life time, but all of it happened when I was 4 or 5 years old, but still the pictures are so vivid and so real in my mind like I am watching a techni colour HD movie or as if I am still there when I am writing it all down.  I say it is not fiction because of the tremendous  nature’s bounty and beauty and companionship that I experienced at that time  seems so unreal even to me. Let me start with the morning, yes, so the morning started with me the 5 year old running from bed straight to the verandah and sitting on the steps of the verandah (of my house which was in a small town of Kerala), the steps leading to the courtyard, it looking all clean  with fresh marks of broom which looked like half circles made over and over again on the brown earth. Sitting on the steps I looked straight at my fri

In search of the prefect 'Yeast'..... post no. 2

Apart from the blogathon that I have jumped into there is another very important issue (!) which has been circling inside my head for long and hold your breath, it is about getting hold of a good yeast (!!) So that I can venture into bread baking..which I had been longing to do  for so long.   This search for a good yeast has been going on for so long that I have tried at least 4 to 5 types of yeast till now, I brought a pack from kerala store in Delhi,  then when I went to Kerala I brought two packs from a bakery thinking that the kind of stuff they have at their shop, definitely they must be selling  good yeast and was excited about trying it out.. then I brought packs from different bakeries in  Delhi.. to cut a long story short... none.. yes... NONE of the yeast ever worked.  During this Diwali I wanted to bake cinnamon rolls  and started imagining the joy of my children when they will be eating the perfect, melt in mouth cinnamon rolls made by their great Mom … but a
