We love Malaysian and Thai cuisine. Unfortunately, we don’t get halal options. Mr. Parveez introduced me to Thai and Malaysian cuisine. I always seem to find similarities between Indian and these cuisines. Thai cuisine has Peanuts and Red chilies as the base along with coconut puree or coconut milk.
Since we can only consume seafood, we don’t get to try all the flavors in a cuisine. So trying them at home is kind of the only option. Honestly, I think its a great way of not just learning to cook a new cuisine but also a way of cooking in a healthy way. The ingredients that you use are fresh and making a dish with fresh ingredients and serving it right away not just makes you enjoy so many flavors fresh but it also has loads of health benefits.
This curry is pretty easy to make. The thai red curry paste I used is market bought, since I wasn’t too sure of the flavors I didn’t want my experiment with a new dish to be not close to the flavor. I used Bell peppers, onions, scallions and garlic. You can also add baby corn or any other veggies of your choice.
Serve it with some boiled Rice and enjoy it warm.

Chicken sizzler is just such a super amazingly happy dish. I feel your hunger just grows by a 200% , seeing that sauce sizzle on that hot iron plate and the sizzling sound is so very pleasing.
Sizzler is best with boneless chicken or fish served with boiled rice and your choice of vegetables. I love the sizzlers in India, the spicy, smoky flavors at our favorite joint is just like a dream come true for people like us, who are so far away and that we don’t get halal sizzlers in USA, or at least not around us. So, for people like us, we invent our own.
So, there is a very sweet story to share as well. Mr. Parveez saw me longing for sizzler and bought me these wonderful iron sizzler pans and they were lying in my pantry closet waiting to be inaugurated. So, finally one day, while kids were at school and Mr. Parveez was working from home and I decided to test my gift. Usually, I always prefer making new things in my own time and keeping it a surprise and once I was done making it, the look on Mr. Parveez’s face is hard to express in words. I do have a picture of him but, he would not allow me to post it here …LOLzzz. It will always be treasured in my personal collection.
