Mangalorean Kori (Chicken) Sukka, steamed rice, homemade yogurt and air popped Papadam.
🤩Undoubtedly my favourite meal ever 🤩

The word Sukka means ‘dry’ as in not thick gravy/ curry.

Btw we call the sauce in the curry ‘gravy’ back home so you can imagine my confusion when I had my first English Roast dinner and was given a pot of gravy with it! 🤣

Back to the Sukka - it is a traditional non-vegetarian dish from the South Indian coastal town of Mangalore. This dish can also be made with game meat - rabbit is popular as they are plentiful in and around this town which has a lot or wooded and natural areas 🐇

I think there is a duck version too which will be quite yummy!

This dish has a complex flavour as 2 different freshly ground pastes are added at different times in the cooking process. It has some tanginess from fresh tamarind, heat from red chillies, savoury and smokey notes from roasted coriander seeds, cinnamon, fennel and fenugreek seeds.

The second paste has coconut, garlic and cumin to create an explosion of flavours in your mouth!

I do not use any cooking oil for my chicken curries. You will notice the second photo of some fried chicken skins - as a prt of my strategy, I render chicken fat from the skins which would otherwise just be thrown away. The fatless skins turn in ‘Good Doggy’ treats 🐶❤️🐶 and I use the rendered chicken fat instead of oil. It makes the dish significantly lighter and moreish!

I feel like I need to do a tasting event with all these wonderful dishes!! What do you think?

Quick and easy Chicken Dilkhush Kabab and Broccoli Mushrooms Pulao.

The Dilkhush Kababs are very thin slices of chicken breast marinated in a spicy cream marinade and stuffed with cheese.

The rice came together in 15 mins. I sautéed the chopped mushrooms and broccoli in a tablespoon of butter while the rice was cooking and then dusted some garam masala on them and a pinch of salt. Add cooked rice and Tadaa!!

The complete meal took 45 mins to cook from scratch.
The cream really carries the flavours,

The next cooking workshop is on 17th Feb and we will be making a Masala Dosa meal!

A dosa is a crispy savoury crepe made using a wild fermented rice and lentil batter - the fermentation process is similar to a sourdough starter only much quicker thanks to the sugars in the lentils.

It is served with a lentil and vegetable curry called Sambar, a fresh green coriander coconut chutney and a spicy potato side. This meal is completely Gluten free and yet high in protein and very filling!

Come and fall in love with this delicious probiotic superfood and learn to make it from scratch - including the batter ❤️

Rawa (Semolina) Dosa - quick and easy healthy lunch or snack!

Semolina is a coarse flour made from durum wheat, a hard type of wheat. Semolina is high in protein and fiber — both of which slow digestion and increase feelings of fullness between meals.

It also supports digestive and heart health!

It is a very popular ingredient in vegetarian Indian dishes all over the country. Semolina is used to make sweet and savoury dishes, they are all delicious 🤤 !!!!

This dosa dish is made with Semolina, a spoon of plain flour, chopped onion, tomatoes, fresh coriander leaves, chopped green chillies, salt and pepper.

Seyal Dabroti 🍞.. the best thing since sliced bread! 😍

Seyal Dabroti is a delicious curried bread lunch or snack dish made from leftover bread which is too dry to eat or even toast.

The sauce is made with fresh onion, tomatoes, zingy ginger, garlic and chilli paste and a few staple spices like turmeric, ground coriander, salt and chilli powder.

All in it takes 25 mins to make and served plain or with a dollop of fresh home made yogurt.

To boost the protein content cooked quinoa, chickpeas or peas can be added 💪🏼

Anyone fancy trying this?

Green Moong Dal Paratha with homemade organic yogurt, chickpea salad and homemade mixed vegetable pickle.

A Paratha is a stuffed flatbread … the healthy version of a Stuffed Naan.

It is made with unleavened whole wheat flour and does not contain any rising agents. I like to add in a bit of salt and chilli powder in the dough to make it savoury 🤤.

Parathas can be stuffed with a variety of spiced mashed/ grated vegetables like potatoes (Aloo paratha), Radish (Muli paratha), cauliflower (Gobi paratha), yellow Mung or Green mung lentils (Dal paratha) or my all time favourite Indian Cottage Cheese i.e. Paneer to make it a yummy paneer paratha!

I suspect it was invented by mums trying to sneak vegetables into their childrens’ meals 😂 and really caught on.

They are really filling and nutritious provided they are not doused in excessive oil/ghee or butter.
Ideally you only need a few drops on each to keep them light and yummy!

For those interested, I will be adding this to the Indian flatbread cooking workshop menu for 2024. Watch this space! 🤗
