- Pork Pickle. ✨ _ Many decades ago, when wild-boar hunting was permitted in India, my father would "hunt" with his buddies. _ He would, oftentimes, bring home a pickle with the meat of the hunted made by the host's cook. Subsequently, my mother extracted the recipe from the afore-mentioned cook and tried the same with pork! It was finger-lickingly scrumptious!🥰 _ A couple of weeks ago, I unearthed this recipe from one of my earlier painstakingly handwritten cookbooks(with my mother's recipes) and decided to make it a part of my pickle collection on Jo's Kitchen. _ Do try it if you'd like to. 😊 _ Simply delicious! #pickle #porkpickle #shikar #wildboar #freshlygroundspices #mustardoil #marination #joskitchensg #cheflife #sgcaterer #cater #homemade #sgmadewithpassion #foodporn #sgfoodies #supportlocalsg #supperclubsg #foodsingapore #homecooksofinstagram #simplydelicious #authentic #indiandelicacy #instafood

— A feast of dishes from Kerala leaves Jo's Kitchen tonight! I hope the "feasters" from North India think that this Maharashtrian did a spectacular job 😅 We'll all have done our bit towards national unity ! — A Pulikuthi Upperi is a Kerala Iyer recipe from the Palakkad region. Made with pumpkin, raw bananas and 'papdi', this is both spicy and tangy, with a dash of tamarind. — Vegetable Ishtew with Idyappams is very popular with the Syrian Christians of Kerala. We used carrots, green beans and red capsicums. It is a gentle accompaniment to the other spicy dishes served alongside — "Brinjal Theeyal has its origins in central Travancore and takes me back to my mother’s kitchen – she would prepare it often. The recipe, like quite a few others in Kerala, involves cooking a garden-fresh vegetable with roasted coconut paste and tamarind. The sharpness of chillies, the creaminess of coconuts and the tang of tamarind form the perfect base for the vegetable" - Chef Reggie Mathew — Potato Fry. Popular in the whole state. Mustard seeds, whole red chillies, potatoes with red chilli powder, turmeric powder and salt are all tossed and roasted in coconut oil. — Definition from Samosapedia Thattukada:Covered carts on the roadsides which sell the street food of Kerala. Open late in the evening and early morning. Cheap and best food 😎 - Thattukada Chicken Fry, marinated for 4 hours, with ginger-garlic and almost every spice under the sun. Deep-fried in coconut oil (I used ghee as well to make it more fine dining!😜) and served with fried slithers of green chillies and curry leaves. — Served with store-bought Idyappams and homemade Jowar Bhakri (with white butter) So what if Bhakri doesn't come from Kerala? They good, right? — Simply delicious! — Order Now!👇🏾 — 📥Message 📧Email FB: Facebook.com/FoodFromAHappyPlace — #joskitchensg #chef #cookedfromscratch #catering #homemade #kerala #maharashtra #pulikuthi #pumpkin #bana
