A box of tofu will last only for few days in the refrigerator and I'm under pressure not to repeat the same tofu preparations, so what do you expect out of me??? Adding them to regular curry preparations is what I resort to…. its sooo versatile and adapts well to any dish without spoiling the original flavour. Shrimp curry is one dish which I make at least once a week and adding leftover tofu blocks in the curry helps my family slowly adjust to tofu diet and also incorporate this nutritional powerhouse in a regular meal.

Sambal is a condiment used in Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Sri Lanka and some parts of Southeast Asia, usually made with variety of Chili peppers. This has got numerous varieties and varies with every region. My preparation is a fusion style Sambal / Sambol covering traditional taste. Most Indonesian sambol includes shrimp paste or dry ground shrimp and I've substituted with fresh ones. You can also use store bought sambal paste.

Asparagus is one veggie which is very versatile, though the appearance may look weird and rugged they always seemed humble, bowing to suit your culinary needs. If you remember, I've always compared the taste of this vegetable to that of raw peanuts… and that induced me to make this chutney, which tasted similar to raw peanut chutney with slight appearance and smell of Ridge gourd thuvayal.

Eral Biryani is one of my favourite dish and there are quite a few ways of making it. Cooking seafood with a tinge of coconut has been a family tradition and this one is no exception. Making this with fresh baby prawns would be awesome but quite hard to find small shrimp or prawn around my place and ended up making with jumbo shrimps to satisfy my palatte. This mild flavoured biryani requires minimal work and comes in handy for a quick non-veg treat.

We, in our family circle have this flair for combining vegetables with non-veggies and get to taste something unusual atleast once a week. In one way, it was good, as we consumed the dish just for the smell and taste without even caring about the veggie. Here's one such interesting combination… Kovakkai cooked with shrimp and loads of freshly ground black pepper. (Kovakkai ~ Ivy gourd, Milagu ~ Black pepper, Eral ~ Prawns/Shrimp)
