Thank you to all you wonderful people who sent in their amazing dishes to the first ever Kerala Kitchen, our monthly blogging event featuring dishes inspired by Kerala, that was created as a way to celebrate Kerala and connect with others who shared a similar passion for Kerala cuisine and ingredients.
A big heartfelt thank you also to those who spread the word about this event most especially the awesome Ria, my co-host, and also the lovely Divya, Ramya and Sarah
It was such a wonderful experience to host this, my first ever event. I got to meet some very talented ladies and visually at least sample some wonderful Kerala dishes, some of which I have never come across before, and some which took me back on a very pleasant nostalgia trip!
Initially though I had nightmares, when I thought no one would turn up and that this Kitchen would be empty. But then the days flew by and the dishes started arriving one by one. I am grateful that for a new event hosted for the very first time we got so many entries. I am sure that as the months go by we will definitely see our table much more heavily laden!
Come and meet all the members of the first ever Kerala Kitchen and all our wonderful dishes for this month!
Ria of Ria's Collection sent in these crispy crunchy Curried Chicken Puffs with Homemade Puff pastry
She also sent in this tantalizing Star gooseberry chutney with Pachha moru / Seasoned Buttermilk
Swapna of Swapnas Cuisine sent in Kappalanga / Omakka Thoran (Stir Fried Raw Papaya with Coconut)
She also sent Kappalanga (Omakka) Achaar / Raw Papaya Pickle
In time for Valentine's day she also sent in these cute heart shaped Tuna cutlets! They are just so adorable! and delicious I'm sure!
Happy cook of My Kitchen Treasures sent in these crispy wafer thin Banana Chips
Driving down to Kerala we used to pass many little thattukadas in Palakkad, where very efficiently 3-4 bananas at a time would be sliced straight into large pots of sizzling oil to make mountains of salty, spicy banana chips. We would buy a large newspaper wrapped package of bananas chips and happily crunch our way to my grandmothers house in Kerala. These chips sure brought back so many wonderful memories!
I love the innovative way she presented her wafer thin Banana Chips. It looks like a shot straight out of a Martha Stewart magazine and is my pick for Best Pic!
Sadhana of Sensible Veg sent in this delicious Olan I love how Indian food and especially Kerala cuisine offers so many wonderful and healthy vegetable dishes. This is a really good example of a vegetable like the pumpkin we might easily overlook becoming a true delight!
Sneha of Inspirational art of cooking sent in one of our favourite dishes at home Beef Ularthiyathu with thenga kotthu
Nashira of Plateful, wins the Top Contributor award with the most number of entires, one breathtaking dish after another!
The reason I also chose her's as the Top Dish is not only am I sure it tasted delicious and is very healthy, Nashira has taken some beautiful pictures of it too and presented it so well. I love how apt it is to the theme of Kerala Kitchen because it features two very Kerala ingredients:
Lentils are very nutritious and a great sources of protein in many Kerala dishes and I love the many innovative ways that we find to prepare them. Bananas are a major ingredient in Kerala cuisine, but its not just the fruit- every part of the tree is used. The trunk of the tree is used for numerous things and is also cooked. The leaves are used as vessels, to thatch the roof of a shanty, even the beautiful purple flower is not discarded but put to good use, as in this wonderful Banana blossom with healthy green gram — Vazhakoombum payarum or Chundum payarum
Here are her other delicious entries:
The lovely Divya of Easycooking sent in this delicious Kumbalanga Cherupayar Parippu Curry I must say it was a lovely treat to see an entry from her to our Kerala Kitchen as I am always drooling at the desserts she whips up on her blog!
Zareena of My experiments with food sent in hot hot Parippu Vadas! I used to look forward to train trips just so that I could gorge on vadas!
She also sent in this fiery red Nadan Meen Curry
Ramya of Hot from my oven also sent in a Vazhapoo-
Sarah of Spoonful of Delight sent in Kappa chips It was my staple when I was at hostel during my college days! We used to munch our way through tins of kappa chips from home so these brought back many memories.
And here are my entries, a healthy Chicken Cheera or Chicken in Spinach Gravy
and Chicken Curry in a Hurry -a super easy and quick, yummy chicken curry in coconut milk.
