Mrs.Mano's Tamilnadu Delicacies - Part 2

Dear Mrs. Mano,

I tried the prawns 2 recipe on sunday and it came out pretty well. It was a lovely red in colour and went well with rotis as well as sambhar rice.

The only thing was that it QUITE spicy by my taste. My husband eats more spice than me and even he found it on the spicy side. This after I used a mix of kashmiri and regular chillies. Usually, I use my discretion for the kaaram quotient, but this time decided to replicate faithfully. I don't know if it was meant to be this spicy.

Probably if kaaram had been less, we would have appreciated it even more. Will do that the next time. But all in all, it was quite easy to prepare and taste was also good.

Thanks again.

Tried the mushroom pulov recipe...was very tasty..thank you very much
Could you please post recipes for Tandoori chicken and hyderabad biryani at your convienience.

Dear Mrs. Mano,

Made the handi chicken for dinner tonight (with less spice than mentioned :) ) and it came out very well. The gravy was also nice and thick and had a 'fresh' flavour thanks to the chopped corriander. Really lovely, and good with chappatis.

Thanks again!

PS: Dev, thanks for the link. It's a good blog.

Dear Thattai!

Thanks a lot for the nice feedback for Prawn fry-2. You can always lesson the quantity of red chillies when you cook.
Also thank you very much for the feedback on Handi chicken.

Dear Mrs. Mano,

Sorry for the late reply. Thank you very much for the Vegetable fried rice recipe, its was very good.

One more doubt. I am asked to prepare chicken curry for the australians in our church. I have to prepare 4 kgs of chicken curry. I am cooking so much quantity for the first time. I am not sure about the number of onions, tomatoes etc. Can you please help me with the measurements of a simple chicken curry.

Thanks,

Regards,
Hulda

Dear Mrs. MAno,

Tried the curry leaves coconut chutney. It was very nice and different, and a good way to incorporate curry leaves in the diet. I love to include them in our food such that we actually eat them, so this recipe was perfect in that regard!! :D

Thanks!
