Chemmen Mulaku Curry with Thenga Kothu / Kerala Konju Curry / Kerala Style Prawn Curry with Coconut Pieces

Chemmen Mulaku curry is a very easy to make Kerala delicacy. Prawns are cooked along with coconut pieces, kudam puli and masala. Shallots, coconut pieces and Coconut oil are a must for making this curry to capture the authentic taste. Coconut oil (pacha velichenna) poured on top of the cooked curry enhances the taste. A true Keralite will indulge this spicy prawn curry with rice; it is also one of my favorite prawn dish.

Chocolate Crinkles

I made these Chocolate Crinkle Cookies during Christmas for my son’s class party along with MeltingMoments. Somehow got delayed in posting the recipe. Chocolate Crinkles are deliciously soft, fudge-like cookies that are covered in icing sugar. These cookies are rolled in powdered sugar before baking and the cookies expands during baking resulting in beautiful black and white crinkles or cracks! The original recipe contains vegetable oil, but I prefer to use melted butter instead. The dough is extremely sticky, thus it is very important to refrigerate the dough. Do try the recipe, I am sure you will enjoy it :)
