    The Crunch of Fryums

    In many South Indian households, serving fryums with rice dishes is a traditional practice that has been passed down through generations. Fryums add a crunchy and crispy texture to the meal, providing contrast to the soft and fluffy texture of rice. The seasoning and spices used in fryums also add flavour to the meal.

    A bowl of Mutton Biryani was served with Coconut Raita, which was an eye-opener for me. The coconut raita is a delightful mix of cool, creamy, sweet, and slightly tangy flavours with a hint of spice, making it a perfect accompaniment to balance out the richer, spicier mutton biryani.

As a chef, spice curator, and author of over 20 cookbooks, my life revolves around the exquisite world of food. I am deeply passionate about experiencing food in all its forms—I love to see, touch, smell, hear, and feel the ingredients that create culinary magic. Each spice tells a story, every herb evokes a memory, and the textures of food bring joy to my senses. Traveling is not just a pastime for me; it is an essential part of my journey as a culinary educator. Exploring diverse cuisines around the world allows me to expand my knowledge and understanding of food, enriching both my cooking and teaching. I revel in discovering new flavors and techniques that I can share with others, igniting their own passion for cooking. This blog is a heartfelt expression of my love for food—a platform where I can share my culinary adventures, insights, and recipes. Join me as we explore global cuisine, celebrating the beautiful and delicious experiences that food offers.
