Finally my mom is back from her really long vacation, it was getting really tough managing life with Blaze and also studying and work and cooking your own food. It’s true that I enjoy my days when I am living on my own, I get more time in kitchen and I experiment new stuff and I love it. But then life as a whole is difficult when you’re alone and you have a dog who’s pampered like a baby.
My mom and me have over own styles of being in the kitchen and well we never get too well when we are in there. She always wants to take that alpha position and needless to say I can’t let her have that. I can never disagree to the fact that she’s a brilliant cook. So yesterday she tells me how she cooked this new dish for my cousins who stay in Sharjah. Apparently they visited this restaurant there Malabar Thattukada, and they had a dish that goes by the name Chicken Kanthari Spicy, well Kanthari here refers to the Bird’s Eye Chilli and when my mom had it she thought of trying to recreate the dish. Well then this is her version of the Kanthari Spicy Chicken and hope you guys try it and like it as well. And PS. this is super spicy and if you’re the weak heart this dish is definitely not for you.
