Whoa ! Long time since i updated this category … almost a year , i see ! i’ve had inertia to write recipes since then for inexplicable reasons … but my recently brilliant recipes have driven it away and i ve got to share this:
1. Methi Pulao:
Soak rice aside. Use Kasoori methi (dry) / fresh leaves that are crushed to a fine texture …. fry chillies , turmeric powder, heeng, jeera, elaichi, clove, cinnamon , basil with salt and the leaves. Add any other masala needed .. i personally use lot of herbs instead of powder these days … enhances the flavour but retains the taste .. and ofc, its healthier.. then add some grated coconut, and finally the rice. fry for 4-5 min and then microwave it with a little extra water than usually needed to make plain rice. People with a fondness for ghee can pour a little ghee over it wen its hot out from the microwave.
2. Pudina Rice:
All you need is the pudina powder, available in mustafa. Repeat above procedure with pudina powder instead of the methi. In this also add a little lemon juice wen its out of the microwave. Can also add urad dal and mustard.cashews, too.
3. Paneer in coconut gravy:
Soak/ Marinate the paneer. Fry the herbs also with methi powder, amchur, dhania , pepper and nutmeg powder. Add generously turmeric powder, then the frozen vegetables and let it wallow in the melange . Take coconut cream and dilute it to a considerable consistency , add it to the dish and let it simmer. When its thicker and boiling, add the paneer and stir for about 5-7 min. Just before taking it off the stove, add some curd and stir well.
4. Better Oats in Life:
Instead of just oats and milk, try adding bananas and some cut fruits in tin , also berries in syrup. Its really good, both like dinner and a dessert.
Tada !!!!!
