I am on a roll or what? I&#8217;ve been posting recipes almost every day this month, I am definitely on a blogging spree. Well, since it&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thasneen.com\/cooking\/category\/recipes\/by-category\/ramadan-dishes\/\">Ramadan<\/a> I try different recipes every day and as soon as something turns out great I get the intense urge to post the recipe on my website. Now, that explains my active presence here.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">I&#8217;ve already mentioned that I am a die-hard fan of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thasneen.com\/cooking\/category\/recipes\/by-cuisine\/malabar-cuisine\/\">Malabar cuisine<\/a>. Malabar is the northernmost district of Kerala. Their dishes are totally unique and rich, most of the recipes call for chicken\/mutton\/beef and eggs. I have tried a few of their popular dishes like <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thasneen.com\/cooking\/adukku-pathiri-a-famous-malabar-dish\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Adukkupathiri or Chicken Pie<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.thasneen.com\/cooking\/kaipola-steamed-plantain-cake\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Kaipola or\u00a0steamed plantain cake<\/a>\u00a0(a dish made with fried plantain and eggs). It&#8217;s such an irresistible dish enjoyed by both kids and adults. Quite similar to kaipola there is another dish called Erachi-pola. In Erachi-pola, chicken is used instead of plantain and it has three layers. It resembles a cake but no baking is involved. It&#8217;s made by slow cooking in a pan.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">I adopted this recipe from a cooking show called Taste of Kerala. I&#8217;ve made a few changes to the original recipe and made it quite healthy. While cooking it, the whole house was filled with the enchanting aroma of this dish. After the final cooking, I couldn&#8217;t wait any longer and just indulged in this dish.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Irachipola or Chicken-Egg Cake<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a
