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 Ann, It is pleasure to know that the recipes worked out well for you. I will definitely do a prawns recipe when the time permits. Thank you very much for the feedback.
Hi Shaan, just curious my mom used to add coriander powder to fish curry, so we don’t need that ingredient. I haven’t tried, but will try today.
Hi Shobana, Thanks for the comment. In traditional Kerala fish curries, we usually won’t use coriander powder. But while preparing Fish Masala kind of dishes we make use of it. Hope it comes out well for you.
