Being away from home is not at all a good feeling, especially when you have a loving mother like mine. Still, for the past 4 years I have been staying away from her due to my profession. I never prefer outside food and thankfully my Mom used to encourage me to cook – I call it experimenting, lolz – so I can manage my own food now.
Whatever modern food you have, there will be one or two specific dishes you always hold in your heart. I have, I am not sure that all of us will have one though. But I believe most of us may have one dish to which we have strong emotional bounds. I do have an emotional touch to one dish which my mom prepares especially for me when I am with her. And that’s a SALAD, lolz. She says I used to trouble her to make this for my dinner.
It’s a simple one and you may laugh at me once I finished writing, lolz. Also it’s a dish from Kerala – the God’s Own Country – so its a little spicy too.
Ingredients:
1. Tomato: 2
2. Onion: 1 small
3. Green Chilies: 3
4. Ginger: 1 small piece
5. Curry leaves: 1 leaf
6. Curd: 1 cup
7. Salt: for taste
Chop the first four ingredients well and mix it with Curd and add Salt.
Simple… but it tastes well, and my mouth is watering. Today I am leaving for my hometown and I am going to have it again with my Mom.

I’m foreign (hehe) and I’m trying to work out what “curd” is in this context. Surely it’s something like “kwark” (quark) or yoghurt
Sry for the confusion, my best guess is it is same as yughurt.
