    Wow Annita! This page which lists all the items by vegetable-wise is too good. I had trouble in finding out the tomato in curd gravy which you published few months back. I tried it two days back and it came very well! I am planning to start trying all the vegetarian dishes you have posted as I am a veggy and got bored of the dishes I know :)

    Thanks a lot Madhuri.Try it out and let me know about it.
    Wishing you a happy New year

    Hi Anita,
    I am so excited to find this blog and extensive recipe list especially the malu dishes. I grew up in Bombay and can count all the malu dishes I know on the fingers of my hand!
    I live in CA and really wish I knew someone local who was a malu!

    But this is great start!
    Thanks so much,
    Sandhya

    Dear Anita

    I have accidently come across this web. I loved your recipes. They look absolutely amazing.

    You seem to be a hardcore mallu, though very far away.

    I am the same, though not very far away, but my circumstances dont allow me to visit the beautiful Kerala as often as I would wish to.

    Can you help me with a recipe of Chettinad Chicken n some good dry fish recipes.

    Thanks you

    I’ll surely try to post some dry fish recipes soon,Shella

    Hi Annita

    How are you doing?? First of all i need to thank you… THANK YOU SO MUCH.. I have been trying your recipes almost everyday and it tastes really cool….

    Two days ago i also tried Fish Pickle… i never expected it to be so tasty.. i remember my mom used to make delicious fish pickles.. and here even i have tried it.. must say its a tedious process..

    Yesterday i tried Fish Manchurian.. and it was very good…
    However, lateron the gravy thickened a lot.. is this cuz of cornflour..

    I need your help on how to prepare Chole… i have tried it however did not like it… i know there is some process to follow.. need your help plss… could you post this menu for me…

    Thanks once again

  15. Shella said

    Hi Anita

    I have been following your blog for sometime now & I must commend you on the receipes you’ve put up n the photographs taken are excellent. I have also followed the links to your blog to other foodies. I was so excited about finding this Blog community coz it made me feel so close to Kerala, though most of the fellow bloggers are not actually in Kerala, but seems like they are hardcore mallus or S. Indians & love to keep up the tradition. You all have really inspired me to do the same, & taking lead from you all I have opened a blog called http://www.nostalgicaboutkerala.blogspot.com.

    I have posted two blogs on it, but I am confused about how to go about inviting people to be part of my blog & make new friends…I would like to be an active part of this online Mallu foodie community.

    Can you please help ?? I would be really obliged.

    Hi Shella,
    i’ll surely add your link to my blog…I think that might help..
    Annita

  16. Shella said

    Thanks Anita. I love you for this help. Pls note a change – I have changed the Blog address to http://kitchensecrets.blogspot.com/.

  26. jennifer said

    I just wanted to take a moment to appreciate all the work you do in putting all of the information together on this website…………The recipes are great and useful to people of all ages and regions especially for those living away from home.

    This website is like an ‘Internet-Mamma’ to turn to for recipes.

    Also I have to say you pay attention to detail
    when you write down your recipes which is so important.

    :)

    Thank You so much once again

    Happy to know that u appreciate my work,jennifer…

  28. Deepu said

    Hi Anitta
    Thanks a lot for this wonderful blog. I have been using it for while and in my opinion it is the best out there for kerala food. Your recipes actually work :)I guess that is because you yourself have tried all of them. They are all well written with fine details. So thanks.
    I have a small question too- in many of your recipes you talk about griding dry and often small quantites of ingradients. What do you use for that? I don’t think i can get a traditional stone grinder here in US :(

    Thank you and Welcome to my blog Deepu…
    And about the grinder,I’m using an Indian style 3 jar Preeti mixie which i bought online.It has a little jar that helps me to grind in small quantities.

    Hi Anita,

    Being a “displaced malayalee” myself, I was indeed delighted to come across your blog site. Years of living in the US(CA)has taken a toll on the authencity of my Indian cooking. Browsing through your recipes brought back that old familiar sense of nostalgia. Long forgotton recipes have awakened the taste buds and has me rearing to go and try out some of my favorites; which I am happy to see have been posted! Finally, I have found a place to go to when I want to cook like a Keralite.

    Excellent job on the presentation of the site. The easy to follow and detailed intructions are just great. Enjoyed your photographic skills too! Keep up the good work.

  38. Reena said

    Hi Anita,

    Your website is awesome! I got married ‘n knew very little about cooking. My poor husband had to live with whatever I could cook up (which wasn’t much)… Now that I’ve come across your site, he enjoys my cooking a lot more! Thank you so much for putting all these recipes together and sharing it with all of us.

    Do you have any recipes for red kidney beans (rajma)?

    Once again, thank you!!
