Suji ka halwa/ Semolina Halwa 


This mouth watering sweet is prepared with semolina, ghee, sugar and milk. 

Such  a delicious & melt in the mouth dish is  one of the favourite sweets relished by my family members . 

The difference between suji ka halwa  and sheera/ kesari bath is that, here we use milk where as for sheera we use only water. 

It's a very easy recipe which can be prepared within 12- 15 minutes if all the ingredients are kept ready  . 

Such a delicious dish can be enjoyed for breakfast, evening tea , any snack parties or can be served for kids snack box.  This super delicious dish can be enjoyed as a dessert too after any meal.

Mutton Green Masala This is one of the oldest & most common recipes of Mangalorean cuisine.  This quick & easy curry is a perfect blend of aromatic spices and has a freshness and flavours of herbs like coriander & mint leaves.  This flavourful green curry goes extremely well with sanna, neeru dosa/ panpole, appams and even with roti, chapathi or boiled rice. My family loves it with soft silky neeru dosas/panpole.  The soup of mutton makes this curry so glossy ,  flavourful and aromatic.  This same masala can be used for chicken too.  Please note: Use spices as per your preference.  Cooking time of mutton depends on the quality of meat.

Coorgi Pork Coorgi Pork is the iconic pork dish from Coorg region.  It's spicy, tangy, aromatic & so yummy! Here is the Youtube Video for this dish: This is the most loved and appreciated dish in my house. I usually serve this as a starter/ appetizer with drinks.  The main ingredient which gives authentic taste to this dish is the coorgi masala powder, which is mentioned in the recipe.  The bright blackish colour and the unique taste comes from the souring agent called " Kachampuli" which is a coorgi vinegar.  This semi dry dish goes well as a side dish with any meal or as an appetizer/starter.
