In 2011, I was 18 and I just moved into a new city in South India . I hated it .. it was hot, humid and everything was the opposite of what I wanted my college atmosphere to be . .
I’m 25 today and it’s 2018 and I’m still in the same city and I’m in love with it . In 20 days I’ll be going back to my home town and it breaks my heart to move away from this city that I now call home . So snippets of food from what I have grown to love over the years staying in Mangalore/Kudla/Kodial . .
The around one is goli Baje , it’s fried dough served hot with some coconut chutney . .
The long ones are banana podi ( fritters ) and they’re just DE-LI-CIOUS.

Plum sauce and pork chops .

Aye aye captain , I got your back 🙈 .

I was bored with my daily recipes , so why not twist the everyday ( or not ) pork chop recipe into something different .
The marinade for this is made with plum sauce , chipotle, oysters sauce & peri peri wild herbs . Add thyme and some parsley to this . Top it with a good merlot and let it sit for an hour .
In a pan , melt some butter and add the meat to it . Cover and after 15 mins add the marinade to it. Again let it cook slowly for 1 hour or so , and add some chopped carrots and French beans to this . Let that cook well and viola , your chops are ready as well!

Bon appétit
Have a hearty meal !

I grew up to eating Bengali food . Durga puja was widely celebrated in my state Shillong , as we had a large community of Bengali population living in Shillong . Hence my love for rosagulla and brinjal have taken roots from this connection . Methi brinjal , simple and delicious . Heat up some mustard oil in a pan , fry 1/2 teaspoon or so of mustard seeds and add methi leaves to this . Cut the brinjal ( aubergine ) into thin flat slices , instead of the usual round ones . Add turmeric to the pan and add one or two pieces of dry red chilli . Let this heat up we'll and add the brinjal to this . Cover and let it fry until its ready ! Now I've mixed this with some Jeera potatoes .
Just fry some jeera , add turmeric and diced potatoes and viola , another dish is ready :) Goes well with rice or roti :)
