We are right now at war with the invisible coronavirus, and it has definitely put us in the back foot at the moment. Studies about the coronovirus have clearly shown that patients with stronger immune system fare better when infected by it. And talking about the immune boosting foods that...
Dear Senthil’s Kitchen family and friends: The COVID-19 outbreak has put all of us in a tight spot; the entire world is being stunned with a pandemic none of us have ever witnessed in our lifetimes. The last known pandemic of this magnitude, the Spanish Flu of 1918 infected around...
Chow Chow (chayote squash), carrots and green beans make another fantastic “combination” sambar and is a must try combination if you haven’t tried it already. I made this special sambar yesterday along with Cauliflower Potato Fry (a simple and happy way to celebrate our anniversary) and my wife and son...
I make fresh idli batter almost every weekend, and this Mint Coriander Chutney is one of our favorite side dishes to go with the idli dosas. There are quite a few variations to making the green chutneys using mint, coriander (and sometimes tender curry leaves). I will share a very...
Sundakkai Vathal (Dried Turkey Berry) Kozhambu is an another passionate dish from Senthil’s Kitchen. Sundakkai vathal is prepared by soaking (or curing) crushed green sundakkai in a thick yogurt and salt marinade for 2 to 3 days and then sun drying it. This dried vathal still packs the health benefits...
If you have read my blog on kitchen sink concept, you might as well call this dish as “Kitchen Sink” Egg Scramble! This prized recipe is from my mother, and she throws in about 20 ingredients when making this special (or super) masala egg scramble. I have cooked this dish...
Parwal or Parval (Pointed Gourd) is a vine plant with heart shaped leaves similar to cucumber and squash families. The vegetable is green with white or no stripes and resemble Kovakkai (Ivy Gourd) in shape but are slightly bigger with soft white flesh and crunchy seeds inside. Some other names...

I have heard a lot about Pallipalayam Chicken Fry, but for some reason never ever tasted it or cooked it, well, until last week! Thanks to our good friend Ramya who posted this dish (along with the recipe) in our local community forum, I was teased to try out a...
Samba Rava (cracked or broken wheat) upma is a breakfast staple at Senthil’s Kitchen during the weekends. Generally I make a huge batch during the weekends and leftovers are stored in fridge and enjoyed during the week with sambar. Samba rava upma is a comparatively healthier version than the regular...
Maravalli or Kuchi Kizhangu (Kappa in Malayalam) is the root tuber from a shrub called Cassava or Yuca. It is also popularly called Tapioca or Sago plant. This plant was originally from South America, but ancient traders took them everywhere, and I am glad they did! The tapioca root is...

In today’s blog, I will share the recipe for the Malaysian Fish Curry with fresh, uncooked okra. The only vegetable I am used to adding to the fish curry is mango. But during my many visits to Kuala Lumpur (KL) Malaysia few years back, I observed that sometimes Malaysians enjoy...
This Achari Goat Chops recipe is very close to the “Goat Chops Curry & Dry Fry” recipe I posted a while ago. Also, we will not be using any whole garam masala like cinnamon, cloves, cardamom, bay leaves, etc. Very surprising right? Achari Goat Chops is a mouth watering dish...
