Hi friends, its me here again with a different dish. Trust me you will surely love it. Fried Chicken fried rice???.... Hope it may sound different, but it tastes good. It is a good way to make this with left over chicken, but to be very frank with you, in my house, i never come across a any time the chicken to get left over. So i prepare the fried chicken just to make this dish. My hubby and daughter love it so much more than the normal chicken fried rice. More of all its so simple to make once you prepare the chicken. 
* Add the prepared chicken to the rice.
Serve hot, and enjoy yours.
Hi friends, Today i am going to post the recipe for sura puttu. Sura ( shark ) is a type of fish variety. Being in UK, its has become very rare to get this fish. One day when i was shopping at an Indian store, i found this fish in the frozen section. So i immedietly picked one pack. It will always taste better if we could get a fresh fish. But on the other hand something is better than nothing. But even with frozen fish it tasted great. Its a very simple yet delicous dish. Everyone will love this recipe with no doubt. Even my daughter "Trisa" who is just 3 years loved this so much that she asked for more and more. People prepare this sura puttu recipe in many different methods. And i prepare it this way, and i bet you will love it. So....Here is the recipe just for you.
* As i dont have a seperate steamer, i use my electric rice cooker with the steamer. So place it on the steamer tray, fill the cooker vessel with water and steam cook it for 15 - 20 mins
* Then cool it, and remove the skin off.
* Then scramble the fish very well.
* Now take a pan, add oil and a dd the ginger and garlic paste and fry till the raw smells disappear. * Then add the onion, green chilly and garlic and fry well
* Then add the prepared fish to the pan, and mix well. ( Dont add water). Keep mixing it making sure it does not stick to the bottom to the pan.
