Sweet Potato & Prawn Pulao

That day, I wasn't in a mood to make any elaborate lunch for me and for my daughter after school lunch. I wanted to make something one-pot meal. Then the thing clicked on my mind was prawn which we all love. So I made this prawn pulao. To make it little more wholesome and healthier, I added sweet potato in it. We all know the health benefits of this superfood(yes, sweet potato is considered as a superfood). So, I try to add this vege almost daily somehow in my diet. It blended so well in this pu… Continue

It Sounded Good at the Time

One of our local grocery stores has a permanent kitchen that, nearly every day, has a chef preparing yummy samples of the many things available in their store for purchase. They wear a microphone and when the store first opened I was often startled when they would begin talking and realized they were talking to ME! I was just trying to skip by swiftly so as not to get caught up in their "spiel"--because I could easily be convinced, especially if the kids were shopping with me. :-) So before I kn… Continue

Shrimp Imperial

This recipe calls for ½ lb. of back fin crabmeat and ½ lb. of claw crabmeat for added flavor, and I find the claw meat also adds a bit of firmness to the texture of the stuffing as well. The Panko breadcrumbs are actually an addition to the original recipe, and the cocktail sauce is served as an alternative to the traditional beurre blanc sauce that would be served on the side also. Another ingredient that is found in the traditional “Imperial” preparation is mayonnaise, and it has also been eli… Continue
