According to me cooking is an equal-opportunity talent and I find that anybody can cook. It is not limited by the age, profession, caste, colour or creed of a person. What is needed is the love for cooking. For me the passion for cooking does not stop in the kitchen, when I travel, I continue to be inspired by eating in some of the best restaurants around the world.

Hi Shaan, In your step 1 you mentioned to Slice Green Chillies. But You never mentioned where to use them. Also Green Chillies is not part of Ingredients. Do we need to use green chillies?
Sateesh, I am sorry, it is my mistake. Please check the recipe, it is modified now.
Hi Shaan, I’m from Kerala and live in Bangalore. I liked the traditional pulissery made my mother, where the curd is very sour. But here in Bangalore, the curd we get in supermarkets are not sour like the curd we get in Kerala. Could you give me any tips to make curd sour?
Sreethi, Thanks for the comment. You can make the curd sour by keeping it in the room temperature for atleast one day before making pulissery.

Hi, thank you so much for your recipes. I have a friend from Kerala who is a great cook, but her recipes are in her head and she puts in ingredients according to taste – and this doesn’t work for me when I try to make them. Your recipes are wonderful and thank you so much for sharing them. Margaret from Ireland.
