Many a time, infact very often, I cook a dish (especially chicken) with the available ingredients at
home and no particular recipe in mind. Trusting my instincts, take the risk and play with the
ingredients (I’m sure like me there are quite a few of you who do that with your cooking more
often than not. Isn’t it?!-:) Sometimes I receive compliments and on a number of occasions its
just smiles (good souls who don’t have the heart to say anything negative).

Yesterday, I followed my instincts and prepared a chicken curry, mildly flavored with a slight hint
of mint. I used poppy seed paste to give some body and garam masala and fennel seed
powder to balances the flavors. Quick to make and makes a decent curry with rotis and rice and
even coconut rice. Satish liked the flavor and so did I.

The only thing you would like to do after treating yourself to this chicken is to yield to a
quick nap. The tblsp of poppy seeds would ensure that. Did you realise or am I
exaggerating.
I havent yet tried adding fennel. That sounds interesting.

You haven t written about cooking with dried mango kernels which are very common in
Andhra. I am linking an old recipe with mango kernels and fish ( its called Besaru )

Dear Sailu,
I will be eternally grateful for the day when I "accidentally" came across your site.My
mother-in-law was a fab cook.Unfortunately before she could pass on her repertoire of
recipes she passed away.I found that i could never measure up to her standards. But
ever since I started trying out your recipes, I received the highest compliment - that my
fish curry was better than hers( I followed your chepa pulusu recipe).
Thanks a ton,
May you continue to help "culinarally challenged" ;) people like myself.
