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, Tried your recipe and really liked it. Your website really helps me specially to get the proper Kerala taste.
Thank you. Jaime.

    You are welcome Jaime. It is pleasure to know that this recipe came out well for you and you enjoyed it. Hope you will try other recipes too. Happy cooking 🙂

I am in UK and will be having Kerala Curry Dinner Party. I want to cook your Beetroot Thoran recipe for 8 people as a side dish. Please advise how many people your recipes would feed, 2, 4, 6 ? Also, you give a quantity as 3 Nos or 4 Nos and I would like to know what this is as a measurement or quantity? Also, you state “a sprig of Curry Leaf” but as I have never seen how big a sprig is and can only buy these as single leaves in a jar, please advise me how many individual leaves to include. I look forward to hearing from you.

    Pat Robinson, Sorry to confuse you. The above mentioned recipe can feed 3 people comfortably. A large beetroot may weight about 250 to 300gm. One sprig of curry leaves may contain 10 to 12 leaves. Hope it will work out well for you. Thank you.

Hai, Shaan Geo, Now I am living in Jeddah. I have no idea for cooking. But, still I am a good (not very well) cook because of you. Thank you so much and I am waiting for more easy recipe.

    Prem, Thank you very much for your great words of encouragement. I will try to post more recipes. Hope to see you here often 🙂
