Kulikki Sharbath / Shaken Lemonade

Back to Bangalore after a long vacation from Kerala. In the scorching heat of Kerala, I have seen a lot of road side stalls where they sell this amazing drink. I was told that this is an excellent drink to cool yourself. I wanted to try this from one of the stalls but wasn’t sure about the water. So I tried it at home and realized why this drink is so popular in Kerala.


This is a perfect thirst quencher. There are so many names for this drink like “taste of Kochi” or “new generation drink” and so on. A perfect blend of lemon, green chillies, sugar and ice cubes. We can also add little crushed ginger and also basil / sabja seeds. Just you need some simple ingredients and an amazing magical drink will be ready within minutes.


Ingredients:
  1. Lemon- Half a lime
  2. Sugar- 1 tbsp
  3. Green Chilli- 1 no
  4. Water- ½ a glass
  5. Ice Cubes- few
Method:

  1. Squeeze the lime in a glass along with sugar, green chillies, water and ice cubes.
  2. Cover the glass tightly with another glass and shake well for about 30 sec.
  3. Serve it by adding a small piece of lime and enjoy an amazing drink.

Crispy braised Iberico pork collar Recipe

Image
It is not cheap, but if you come across it don't hesitate and buy an   Iberico  pork  collar  (aka boneless neck, Cabecero). Mine was 1800 g. It is a well marbled, exquisitely flavorful cut that can be roasted, braised, or sliced into steaks for quick searing. ... While  iberico  is best known for the famous slow-aged hams, the other cuts are succulent, moist & delicious. I made pulled pork from one half. Today I made this from the other half. First I peeled, halved and then sliced 800 g of onions and sweated them in 40 g of butter, turned the heat up a bit and softly fried them for about 40 mins, nicely caramelised and brown. Took out the onions and added some more butter in the pan to sear the meat. Then turned the heat down again and added  sea salt, black pepper, 3 tbsp  Worcestershire  and 6 finely hacked cloves of garlic , 1.2 liter of beef stock , the reserved onions and 2 leaves of laurel . Put the lid on and let it simmer for 3 hours. Then I took out the oni

Pani Puri with Homemade Puris

Image
P ani Puri is one of my favorite chaats from childhood. Whenever we go out, we used to thoroughly enjoy the chaat from the roadside street vendors. In every nook and corner, you can see a pani puri stall. We used to have competition, as who will have more puris. Every Indian like pani puri to the core. It is said that this not only satisfies your taste buds but also keeps the kid in you alive. Once during fasting time, in Bangalore, after breaking the fast I had 30- 35 pani puris without eating anything. I like to have them anytime of the day. After coming to the US it has become very rare to find pani puri. We will get the pani puri kit in all the Indian stores. I started making it from scratch as we don’t find the puris most of the time in stores. My daughter loves it a lot. She won’t eat anything else if pani puri is there for snacks. Pani puris have different names like the puchkas, gol gappas and so on. Pani means water and puri are the fried puffed dough balls. Yesterday was my s
