Succulent Paneer fried and cooked along with boiled peas nestled harmoniously among herbs and spices..ummmmmmmmmmm..Need I say more? Muttar (Peas) Paneer (Indian Cottage Cheese) is a dish which I have loved as long as I can remember. But then I have always been biased to Paneer. Anything and everything with Paneer and you know I am sold. I have to say that I have some lucky charm since I am

This is one of those ridiculously simple dishes which for the minimal effort and time tastes as if lot more hard work has gone into it. I love this recipe for using few ingredients and which I can whip up in a matter of minutes at short notice.

"Kadai" or "Karahi" represents an Indian wok. A thick circular deep vessel mostly used for frying/simmering of stews. "Paneer" is Indian cottage Cheese

I made this ‘Paneer Bhurji’, sometime back and it was an excellent side dish - an instant hit at my household.

It may be at yours too! try it out then..:))

How many ways do I proclaim my love to thee? Well this is another way to Ok, this is yet another way to show my love for Paneer. And this is indulging in extremes. I normally make Paneer Butter Masala every other week as Konda is very fond of it. Though I personally can’t make much difference between the dish term Paneer Makhani and Paneer Butter Masala, I do mark a difference in not adding cream in PBM. While this dish is not something I make regularly as I use both butter and Cream. Well I guess once in a while we do need to indulge, though this becomes a regular fare at home. I am trying to reduce all these rich dishes on weekdays.One, its difficult to prepare these back from work, other, its too rich to sleep on it!

But special occasion needs special dishes. Happy Cook and I have exchanged many mails and chat often. She is one of those good friends I have through blogging. So I was looking froward to meet her when she…

Sometimes being a vegetarian is tough.Since I don’t eat even egg, it becomes a critical thing. Not on the choice of eating, mind you. But in terms of explaining to kids on why you don’t eat. I have always wanted Konda to eat non veg. And thought if she wants to stop, she can decide when she is old enough. So everytime I make chicken or mutton, I tell her that its good for health and she should eat. She gets right back and asks why I don’t eat. I say I don’t like, so I don’t eat. She says eat egg atleast, that’s so healthy right. Now what should I say. Finally I lost my temper and told her never to ask me to eat again. I know poor darling was upset but I tried my best to explain. Not sure if there were better ways to make her understand more. Anyway that left me resolving to handle things better!

This curry was also something that initiated such discussions. Parents had joined us for Sunday lunch. So we made chicken for everybody and this Paneer curry for Amma and myself. I d…
