I am confused with the name of this dish. I got the recipe from Vanitha magazine. They have named it Greek fish. I never had Greek food, so don’t know if there is any similarity. Somehow I cant bring myself to call it “Greek fish fry”. When I gave it to my husband, he asked me whether its fish fingers, I said I was not sure. I’ve posted a recipe for fish fingers before and its so different from this. Though there was a confusion with regards to the name, there wasn’t any confusion about its taste. It has a unique taste, whether its Greek or Latin.
After all what’s in a name :) I thought I would just call it fish fry, after all its fish & its fried too

Its been sometime since my rooms are filled with the fresh baking aroma. Both, my hubby & myself, love it. It also brings me a nostalgic feeling.
Back home in Kerala our neighbor had a bakery. They used to make buns, bread, laddus etc at the borma (industry jargon for kitchen) behind their house. Our kitchen was closer to their borma. They made bread usually during evening time, just after I reached home from school. The moment I get this smell, I used to run to our compound wall, I even remember jumping the wall at times 
… talk about being hungry!
The activities @ the borma always fascinated me, the way they put the dough into the big oven and the way the crispy golden colored bread popped out spreading the heavenly baked aroma.
Now coming back to blueberry muffins, I had it only after coming to Bahrain and it was love @ first bite :) I always wanted to try this but couldn’t find blueberry. So when I saw it in the frozen section recently, I grabbed quite a few bags, that my husband wondered whether am into blueberry hoarding business
This recipe gives you a very moist muffin.

Finally I did it. No no.. am not referring to the recipe, the recipe is an easy one and you cant go wrong with it. I was referring to the picture. I couldn’t get a good picture of this recipe. It doesn’t mean that all the pictures in my blog are excellent. I am talking about an average looking picture here. Somehow or the other it didnt work out. The problem ranges from the lighting to the chicken getting burnt and finally when the light and chicken is ready my camera is not charged up. I even thought whether am jinxed :-), because when it happens with the same dish for more than 3,4 times you need an answer for why its happening right ?
Anyways, this time also the light didnt favor me, but am not going to try anymore, I think this will be the best that I can do with this dish. This recipe was sent to me by my friend Divya, who is a fabulous cook herself and who has encouraged me a lot in blogging by giving very helpful suggestions and feedback and also by sending beautiful recipes like Carrot Cake and Fish Fingers.
I still remember our hostel days at Banglore, where we used to try our hand at cooking under Divya’s leadership. Our cooking adventures included biscuit pudding, kachimoru, and Chicken Biriyani (yes, we always aimed high in cooking)
This chicken is almost like an instant dish and it tastes awesome!
The recipe follows:
