Chicken Uppu Varuval/Kozhi Uppu Varuval


Uppu Varuval is a Chettinadu delicacy that can be made with either chicken or mutton.A simple dry preparation uses only dried red chillies and some basic spices.

Shallots and the red chillies enhances the taste and flavor of the recipe.Shallots tastes best for this preparation but regular onion also makes wonder.

This spicy curry couples up great with simple rasam or curd rice but with pulao too.This fry takes only 30 minutes to cook and tastes better when it is served hot.Also the red chilly in the fry goes very well with curd rice.

Vegetable Biriyani - Pressure Cooker Method

Coming to day 3 of Blogging Marathon#62 under the theme quick dishes I am sharing a one pot meal.This biriyani can be made in 30 minutes if the veggies are chopped and kept or even frozen veggies can also be used. As I have the habit of chopping veggies for the next day cooking this takes only 20-25 minutes of cooking.Also I use the boiling hot water to cook the rice faster.When the rice is cooking in the pressure cooker you can make either a simple raita or an egg omelette to pair up with this biriyani.                                                                                                                                  ...
