Chikkudukaya Iguru 

           Frozen veges r always comes handy. so do store them in freezer for quick version of this curry.

Ingredients:

Chikkudukaya pieces/ Val Papdi frozen pack - 310 g (add this to microwave bowl, no need to wash. Microwave for 5-8 mins, throw the excess water which came)

Oil - 4 tbsp

Turmeric - 1/2 tsp

Serve with Tomato Saar, Rice n Yoghurt on side.


Chicken Masala Powder (no need to roast the spices) :-

6 tsp Coriander seeds, 2 tsp Poppyseeds, 10 Cloves, 8 Cardamom, Cinnamon stick 2 inch - grind these in to powder using coffee grinder. Remaining powder keep it closed, in airtight container or use for other recipes which I have used in earlier posts.

Tip:

When I grind onion into coarse paste I keep it in those round tiffin box, n tilt the dish so the water will come on one side. once u feel all the water came out then throw that water n use.

Note:

No need of adding water while cooking.

This curry tastes just like fish fry.
