Cuisine ~ Hyderabadi Delicacies


Image by д§mд
My blogger friend, Maryam, posted the recipe of Murgh Quorma in Hyderabadi style the other day. Only reading through the Recipe sounded so yummy that I had to make it. So what other day to do so when 14th August was around the corner

It was yummylicious … a bit different from the way I cook chicken. But very yummy indeed. I don’t indulge in Garam Masala (mixture of spices) during cooking. For this I put in some … and a dash of Kasoori Methi too. The taste was heavenly. Though my dada, being the oh-so-good cook, was like agar yah karleti tu bahtar tha. Haaa. Dads.

I was happy with the outcome BTW =D

Today I had the great opportunity of shooting Jenn with some other photographers from the Sac area. This is the first time I’ve participated in a "professional" level shoot, models, flashes, and all. It was a great experience being able to see how these shoots were organized and taken on.

After observing the other photographers for a while, Jay was nice enough to let me borrow a Pocket Wizard for a few shots. A couple poses and 20 shots later, I had some of the best portraits I’ve ever taken, all in the space of about 5 minutes.

I often get emails from my US readers about Asian grocery stores in the United States—where to find certain products when making Asian food at home, grocery store recommendations, etc.

Great news! Look no more and check out this resourceful “Asian Grocery Store Map” on New Asian Cuisine, a website run by my sister-in-blog Jaden of Steamy Kitchen and her partner Grace Niwa. The map is a great tool and you can search the location of Asian grocery stores by zip code, which I thought is really neat…

If you are a fan of Asian food and recipes (I am sure you are!), New Asian Cuisine is a great site with tons of Asian cookbook recipes. You can also find out Asian food news, events, and trends on the site. I also like the “Ingredients” section that talks about the various Asian ingredients.

New recipes and photos are added each week on New Asian Cuisine, so go check it out now!
