Aroma from Grandma's kitchen

IF YOU yearn for the best from grandma's kitchen, then, The Hotplate, a multi-cuisine restaurant at the Avenue Center, is presently holding a `Naadan Ruchi mela', which has true `naadan' recipes like rabbit roast, kakka irachi ulathiyatu, chemmeen maanga chaaru curry, kada roast, chala fry and kappa meen vattichathu, which recreates the original granny flavour.

"Since our customers showed great interest and liking for `naadan' food, and made our puttu pooram and biriyani fests a big success we thought of organising another one on these lines, " says chef John, all excited about serving a varied variety of meat and fish dishes. Here he shares with the readers of `TheHindu Metroplus', one of his favourite recipes.
