Khao Phat - Thai Fried rice


Love love love Thai food even before we relocated here. Khao phat is Thai fried rice.
Khao in Thai = RICE , and Phat = Fried . Its a quick and easy lunch or dinner option when you really lazy to cook.

Ingredients :
  • Cooked rice- 2 cups 
  • Onion- roughly chopped 
  • Garlic - 6 pods - crushed 
  • Carrot- 1 small cut into big round chunks 
  • Eggs- 3- whisked 
  • Boneless chicken- 1 bowl 
  • Oyster Sauce - 2 tsp or as per taste 
  • Thin black soy sauce - 2 - 3tsp 
  • Black soy sauce - 2-3 tsp 
  • Green chillies - 3 nos 
  • Oil 
  • Spring onion- handful for garnish 
  • Salt - Optional **  
Method : 
  1. Take a big wok or kadai. 
  2. Add oil and once heated add crushed garlic. Stir it for 1 min.
  3.  Add chicken and stir fry till its partially cooked. 
  4. Add carrots to it now and close the wok with a lid and allow the carrots and chicken to be fully cooked. Stir occasionally.
  5. Once cooked, Make a small hole in the middle and add the 4 whisked eggs. Mix it well 
  6. Add the onions, cooked rice and stir well. You can add the green chillies at this stage. 
  7. Add the oyster sauce, Thin soy sauce and Black soy sauce. Stir well and garnish with spring onion. 
  8. You can serve this with cucumber and chilli garlic soy sauce. This is optional 
Notes
  • Salt is mentioned as optional because oyster sauce has enough salt to make this dish tasty. If you add additional salt along with oyster sauce it will be too salty. 
  • Though this is the authentic way and oyster sauce is never avoided by Thai's , you can completely avoid the oyster sauce if you don't like and add salt instead as per taste. 
  • You can add more veggies if you want like beans. Also you can avoid adding chicken and make it a veg fried rice. 
  • Thin black soy sauce is what gives it flavour and black soy sauce gives it colour.

Easy Sambar (without tamarind)

Sambar is a must in most south Indian families and like others even I have grown up having dosa- sambhar and chutney's. A Sambar is a lentil based vegetable stew or curry cooked with dal/lentils along with some veggies and some tamarind pulp. There are coconut based sambar as well and each region has its own sambar variation. In my house, we all prefer quick meals, but yet tasty. My mother who was a working lady would make elaborate meals only during holidays or special occasions. Rest all the meals would be quick yet very very tasty. This is one such sambar which my mom has taught me and is super quick.  This doesn't use tamarind like in a traditional sambar and gets its tangy flavour from tomatoes. Its quick, one pot sambar recipe. Lets dive in and see how its done: Ingredients: Serves 3 1/2 to 1 cup Tur Dal/ Yellow Lentils 2-3 tomatoes chopped (depending on size) 1/2 cup Veggies each of your choice cubed Turmeric powder A pinch of Asafoetida/ Hing 1/2 tsp chilli powder Salt

Chicken Stew- Kerala chicken curry (Video Recipe)

This simple recipe is every Malayalee's favorite and if you have Appams along with it, its heavenly. It is lightly spiced coconut milk flavoured curry with just a hint of spices. You can make it a vegetable stew by just adding some carrots, beans, peas etc or a chicken stew. You can also combine both veggies and chicken to it and make a delicious kerala style stew. It is mostly combined with appam (thin lacey pancakes) or idiyappam (string hoppers / steamed rice noodles). We also have it with breads and with dosa some times. The addition of vegetables along with chicken gives it a different texture as well. Many recipes add cashew paste to the curry to make it thicker. I usually make them without the cashew paste  and only add coconut milk with the veggies and chicken/ mutton. Kerala is famous for its usage of coconut, and this dish is no different to all the other kerala dishes where coconut milk and coconut oil is used to give that authentic flavour. Let's see how its
