Geeta M. Baliga

I am Geeta Baliga born in Chennai and grew up in Calicut, Kerala.


I got married at the age of 21 to Mohan Baliga and moved to Hubli. I have 2 daughters and a son.


I was an entrepreneur and ran a very successful pre-school called Rose Bud in Hubli for 35 years. All my children are settled in North America. I have 5 grand children.We are now settled in the US to stay closer to our children.


Konkani cuisine is known for great fish curries and other seasonal delicacies like "Kadgi Chako" and "Keerla Sukhe".


We constantly had family visiting us for whom I helped cook barrels of curries, chakkulis and ubbatis, phenories, shevai, thile undo, halvas, etc. I had friends from various parts of India - Punjabi, Maharasthrian, Savji and Lingayat (Hubli locals) from whom I learnt to make other types of cuisines. Over time my reputation grew as a good cook in the family and circle of friends, particularly for seafood.

1 bunch of coriander leaves +7 to 8 green chillies (according to the pungency of the chillies)

Marinate mutton chops with this coriander paste and keep for some time. Cook these marinated chops in the pressure cooker for two whistles ,
if water leaves after cooking and the pieces r already cooked , remove the chops from the cooker and keep aside

Stir the masala on fire until dry  and the remaining water evaporates.
Then add the mutton chops to the thick paste and mix well .
Add 1/2 tbspn lemon juice and salt to taste- mix well

Beat 3 to 4 eggs in a bowl
