Kerala moru curry (Sweet n sour)

-

INGREDIENTS:

Ripe banana (elakka), pineapple or mango
turmeric
grated cocunut
jeera
green chilli
curry leaves
salt
curd/buttermilk

METHOD:

1. Put the sliced fruit, curry leaves, green chilli, turmeric, sugar/jaggery (if you are not satisfied with the sweetness of the fruit) into a pan. Fill it with just enough water to immerse the ingredients and heat until it boils.

2. Meanwhile, beat the curd to smooth and thick buttermilk form.

3. Mix the grated cocunut, jeera, turmeric, green chill (if you want the curry to be a little more spicy), enough salt into a fine, smooth paste.

Pour the buttermilk into the pan and keep stirring. After a few minutes, just before it starts boiling, pour the mixture in No. 3 and keep stirring for a few minutes. Taste for salt, sourness and sweetness.

Optional:
End the preparation by spluttering some mustard seeds, red chillies and curry leaves to garnish the curry ;)

The semi-lock down phase from April 7th - May 4, 2020 was in progress.  However, on April 20th, the PM made a sudden announcement that it will be extended until June 1, 2020. When it was expected to be PANIC mode, the people in our house responded in a matured and sensible way. Husband thinking................... "I will have another 30 days of low credit card bills?😲😲"  "Few more weeks of zero useless shopping and eating-out expenses?"  "God bless the COVID phase!😇" Wife thinking............................. "He can work from home for another month?"  "He can help me with the house chores and babysitting😀"  "How convenient!😇" Child's point of view..................... "I can wake up late and not dress up in school uniform for the next 30 days?!"  "I can have more screen time, which is officially allowed by the school and at home?" "Yay!😄" How did you respond t

The probability of my uncle sending me a sms is very rare. So the sms came as a surprise, one fine day, when I was working late in office and was frustrated. He wanted to let me know that there is a guest at his home and the guest was longing to meet me. I begged him to tell me who it was, but he did not budge. I requested him to give me a clue and found that it was a special person. When I asked where the person was from, he replied ‘Persia’. Many things were going through my head. I even wondered if it were my parents giving me a surprise visit, which was far too much to hope for. I gave up and thought that it might be one of my relatives who must have travelled down from the Middle East. The next day was my off and I decided to go visit this special person. I called my aunt to let her know (Uncle was away at work). The conversation went like this: Me : Hi Aunty, I am coming over at 11 am. Aunt: Oh yeah, I was expecting your call. Uncle had told me that you would be here to me

Daughter and S.T.O.R.A.G.E

I remember those initial days which I had spent in my first company. I had no clue that a bachelors degree in engineering could land me in one of the hottest domains in the IT industry. My dad, who is a master degree holder in Economics, and my mom, who chose to provide service to her fellow human beings on earth, by practicing as a doctor, had absolutely no clue either. Since I knew that it would be difficult for me to explain the concept of ‘domain’ in the IT field and to let them know exactly how I serve my employer with the level of knowledge I have, I did not bother revealing the exact nature of my work. Instead I conveniently chose to inform them that my work revolves around S.T.O.R.A.G.E (which was the name of the domain I was in). When I went to pay them a visit, a few months later, i came to realize that I had made a terrible mistake. Our relatives and family friends seemed to know everything regarding my work! After the initial round of “vishesham parachil”, like we call it
