Chettinad Mutton

This recipe is inspired by the Chettinad chicken recipe. It's a variation for grilling mutton - I've added lime and raw papaya for the marinade to tenderize the mutton.

Kozhakotta (Steamed rice balls)

Kozhakotta is a kerala sweet made of steamed rice dumplings or balls stuffed with a sweet mix of jaggery, grated coconut and spices. Very similar to the 'modak' of Maharashtra.

Theeyal is a typical kerala curry - a little similar to sambhar (without the dal). It uses roasted/burnt coconut and tamarind, and becomes a dark rich colored curry which is eaten with rice. Sometimes served as as a curry in the Ona Sadhya.

Pakki Chicken Biryani (mummy's recipe)

This is my mother-in-law's recipe for pakki biryani. Here the chicken is cooked separately and then added to the rice and cooked together. This takes about an hour and a half from start to finish.
