W henever I am visiting my home in Kerala, there will always be a fried item for lunch. But this time since I was around for a longer time, I decided to eat healthy and reduce binging on oily stuff since I do not want to torture my weighing scale after going back to Bangalore :-) We tried many dishes in the oven and this is one of my favorites among all of them. Here I have used pearl spot fish as this is the most suitable and tastiest fish to make tandoori. This tandoori fish is a combination of spices with a slight tanginess of lemon and curd which is baked till perfection. This can be prepared easily if the fish is marinated and kept it in the refrigerator. This is a big hit at our home . This is a great starter which is served along with green chutney and onion rings. Ingredients: Pearl Spot Fish- 4 nos Red Chilli Powder- 3tbsp Turmeric Powder- 1 tsp Cumin Powder- 1 tsp Ginger and Garlic Paste- 2 tbsp Green Chilli Paste- 1 tbsp Lemon juice2 tbsp Curd- 1 cup Salt- as required For th

Salad: Haricots verts, sugar snaps, red onion, red pepper, cucumber and coriander. Dressing: juice from 1 lime (or 1/2 lemon), 1 tbsp fish sauce, 2 tbsp brown sugar, 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 garlic clove. That's all folks...

I n case you are wondering where I have been, its almost a month and I am getting pampered by my in- laws and my parents in my home at Kochi, doing nothing, simply sitting n eating.. atleast thats what my weighing machine says ..:-) Now coming to the post, in this hot, sultry weather who doesn't like to have a big glass of iced juice and that too which is a good detox for your body. This is a perfect refreshing drink as the main ingredients in this are cucumber, which helps our body to flush out toxins as it contains citrulline, which is an amino acid. This drink has mint leaves, which have a nice refreshing flavor and last but not the least lemon, which helps to stimulate and regulate the digestive tract.   Using these three ingredients we can make an amazing magical drink which is perfect for our body. Lets make it and enjoy in this hot weather. Ingredients: Cucumber- 1/2 Mint- a handful Lemon- 1 no Honey- 2-3 tbsps Method: Grind the cucumber, mint leaves and 1 lemon juice well i
