Crazy about cooking up new dishes, I also enjoy baking...
Now where should I start, hhmm.. am clueless. It was exactly like this 3 years back, when I started this small space of mine called MariasMenu. Yes, MariasMenu is celebrating its 3rd birthday this month!! I never thought this space would come this far, I’ve never worked in a place for 3 years, so this [...]
Prawns season has started in Bahrain. I should say that’s one of the few exciting things that I look forward to in this scorching summer season. I’ve heard some people say prawns is one of the major contributor for cholesterol where as some say it isn’t. I don’t know whom to believe, hhmm… since am [...]
After tasting this stew, Simi, my Punjabi friend exclaimed, “this is a revelation to me, a Kerala curry without mustard and not red in colour. This is like a Thai curry!! ” It seems she had tried Kerala food from some restaurants in Mumbai and it all looked and tasted the same with a fiery [...]
Baking is something I missed during my holidays. I usually try to stay away from kitchen as much as possible during my holidays ;), and I wouldn’t miss the usual cooking at all, but baking is an exception. Am not a great baker though, but still I very much enjoy the whole process.
Usually, when am [...]

Hope you all had a great Easter. I wanted to wish you Easter and was planning to post this recipe for Easter, but it didnt happen. I blame Jose for that. Recently whenever we go out, people are commenting that Jose has lost so much weight and then my turn comes and most people go [...]
Easter is almost here and those who are on lent will be desperately counting the days. Usually Easter is celebrated in the months of March and April, which is the school summer vacation time in India. I’ve very fond memories of Easter during my early school years and the most important one is the Pesaha [...]
I was all set to post the recipe for Pesaha/Indri appam and Pesaha paal. Then I got a comment from one of my readers, Emie Peters, asking whether anyone knows the recipe for kozhukatta (Easter special). You might be wondering how kozhukatta (steamed rice dumpling with coconut & jaggery filling) is related to Easter, right? [...]
This is one of my fav beef preparations. I like beef in any form, but this one has an edge over other beef dishes :). I’ve posted a similar recipe sometime back. The main change in this recipe is the use of small onions.
Also I’ve been tagged by Divz ( I assume that she is [...]
Malayalees’ love for puttu ( steamed rice cake) is well known. This is one of the most preferred breakfast items in Kerala. Though this is a common item in any Kerala household, for us it wasn’t.
