Generally, we use oil/ refined oil for cooking. How is cooking in wine? I heard that chicken is also cooked in whiskey or rum. Has anyone ever taken such dish. If so, please share experience.

I too use red wine for a dish made with mutton and white wine for chicken.It is very tasty,I dont eat meat,but taste the gravy and it is good. Here in Mangalore we also use a locally made toddy called neera for cooking pork .Neera is also used for fermenting dough while making aappams, which are like dosas..

I have heard of neera, this is made of palm I think. This is easily available in Maharashtra and coastal areas I guess.

Yes sunil, it is toddy made from a special kind of palm tree, we have one at home :P , a very old one ! It is a very decorative tree and cutting it would be a great problem since you need to get the proper licence to do it...

But that is for all the grown up trees if you have to cut them you have to take permission from forest department especially fruit trees.

Yes thats true, you cannot cut any tree without a licence and some trees are even more difficult to cut like this toddy palm..
In Mangalore a local wine is made mostly by the catholic community which is a blend of red/black grapes and cashew fruits - a cross between feni and wine which has a sharp taste but nice ! It is extensively used by them while cooking pork,beef and other meat like rabbit and wild boar ..
