My first post…..A bit tensed, but also excited. Let this be a new beginning for me!!!

So, to keep things simple let us start with something easy…something quite common…something which both the carnivores as well as the veggies can hog on…………yes…….A simple paneer masala!!!

Ingredients:
    Paneer cubes (250 ml)
    Chillie powder, turmeric powder, garam masala powder,and                 pepper powder.
    Onion(1 and a half), tomato(1), ginger & garlic(as required).
    Milk
    Coriander leaves


     Procedure
  1.       Grind onion, ginger, garlic, and tomato together and keep aside.
  2.       Fry paneer cubes in oil until golden brown.
  3.   Put some oil in a pan, and add the grinded paste from step 1 and fry till it reaches brown, with constant stirring.
  4.   Add into the mixture chillie powder, pepper powder, turmeric powder and garam masala powder  and mix well.
  5.   Add fried paneer pieces into the mixture and mix well.
  6.       Add 1-2 cups of water, salt and allow it to boil.

   Best buddies for Paneer Masala..
          So you have just made a piping hot paneer masala…..It goes well with parathas, roti, naan, friedrice, pulav etc.

   Some Good Reviews..
  1.      Paneer is a tasty product and it can be considered as a ‘chickensubstitute’ for the veggies.
  2.     Preparation time is less than 30 minutes if executed with planning.



   A bit of Caution…
     The quality of the paneer that we buy from market cannot be depended fully and the curry may turn sour if the paneer is not good enough. So always be careful in buying paneer made  from branded companies  when you go to a store.

   Well that’s all about my first dish…..I’ll be continuing with some exotic dishes very soon…
