Malai Kofta Curry

For this month's South Vs North Challenge, started by Divya, Nupur of Northern team challenged the Southern team with a delicious and rich gravy. Malayi Kofta curry is a rich creamy gravy served along with soft paneer koftas. This is a restaurant style gravy which goes very well with tandoori roti, naan and other flat breads. The paneer koftas are actually deep fried, but it is completely your choice. You can either deep fry them or shallow fry or bake or cook them in paniyaram pans. However you cook the koftas, the final gravy turns out delicious. I recently purchased a grill plate for making rotis. To go with the gravy I made some rotis made on the grill plate. The combination was quite fantastic.

Roasted Cherry Tomatoes

Whenever I see Cherry tomatoes in cookery shows, I would be tempted to taste it but unfortunately we don't get them in Madurai. So it has been in my to do list for long. Last month, when I went to Nilgiris, I saw a basket full of cherry tomatoes in the vegetable section. I din't even think again. I just grabbed the basket and asked the worker to weigh it out at once. I was so happy to have got it.

Ringna Bateta Ni Kachri - A Tribute To Tarla Dalal

Last week, November 6th Wednesday, I was so shocked when I opened my FB page for updates. One of my FB friends posted that Tarla Dalalji is no more. I just couldn't believe it. I searched for so long and after an hour, many updates started coming on friend's walls about the sad news. I am a great fan of Tarla Dalalji and I have been collecting her books for the past two years. Whenever I have a doubt regarding any recipe, I first search the books written by her, then her website and only then I go for any other alternative. If you are a foodie, you would surely be familiar with her recipes. My most favourite Tarla Dalal's book is Mithai. She has listed so many sweets and if you try them you surely can master the art of sweet making. I have bought so many of her books for giveaways in my blog and I will continue to do so. She will be remembered forever...

We at the Blogging Marathon group wanted to post a tribute to her. The idea was given by Padma and every one wanted to be a part. So Preethi designed this logo for the post. We thought of trying one of her recipes which would be a perfect tribute to her. Tarla Dalal gives perfect recipes with accurate proportions. You can never fail with her recipe and that is why her recipes are a great hit among bloggers. This recipe is from her Gujarathi Cook book. It is a simple yet tasty dish and can be made in a jiffy.
