So here is the spread for my Son’s birthday. I made all the Non-Veg and my wife made all the veg dishes. Experimented with the Hung curd dip and veg shami kabab. We had around 20 guests so cooking time was more due to the quantity and this was not an iflashcook episode.

Pork Roast
This is a savoury and tasty dish from Kerala. I usually use pork belly meat with 1/4th meat and 3/4th fat in cubes. The meat requires a 2 to 4 hour marination, but I usually keep it overnight. Great white Aapam, Malabar Paratha and white rice or if you make it dry even as a snack.
Pork Belly Dance
Blog – The pork belly dance by the accidental cook. While I like to experiment, this preparation went from being a disaster to a master piece. I cannot recreate it as I did not write down what I did or quantity of the ingredients but I remember the general process. Worth trying it again.
Sudha Aunty’s Fried Potatoes
Simple accompaniment for Curd Rice or Rice and Sambar (South India Lentil Soup). The taste is savoury with a strong hint of roasted cumin. Salt and Cumin give a nice grainy texture to the potatoes.
Shrimp Ghee Roast
Ghee Roast is typically a Mangalorean spicy dish for mutton, chicken. After a couple of iterations I hit the notes that I tasted in Fisherman’s Cove in Chennai and Cherai in Kerala.
