Squid RawBanana Thoran..An easy to make, but yummilicious and fingerlicking Thoran made with Squid(கணவா மீன்) and RawBanana, i.e., plantain, which is so commonly made in our native. Be it a plain rice, kanji(porridge), or even nonbu kanji, this Thoran is made often in our homes, and it serves as a great side dish which u can't stop eating more..This is my alltym favourite as well 😋..U ppl might hav eaten lots of dishes with squid, but I don't know how many of u hav had this one..Next tym when u buy squid, try this recipe for sure for lunch, and do let me know ur feedback too frnz 🙂..Now, moving on to the recipe..

Kayalpatnam Ahani Biriyani


Kayalpatnam Ahani Biriyani..This is a Biriyani recipe belonging to the Kayalpatnam region of Tamilnadu..Its speciality is it doesnt need any masala powders, but whole spices, curd, nuts and more..It is very easy to prepare and kids will love it becoz of its less spiciness..My kid is not an exception too..Jus like every other places, Kayalpatnam also has a lot of unique recipes which are not followed in other places..I found this recipe in a Kayalpatnam based Facebook group's competition. The author was Safeena sis..Since her measurements were for atleast 6+ people, I adjusted them according to our needs, and so may be there will be a little changes from her exact recipe measures..Tried it on one fine day, and the result was too good..Since many of u arent familiar with it, I decided to post in the blog too..Here it is..
