Mushroom Panner Masala

-
It was another of those days when I would keep bugging Tanmaya about what he wants for lunch. I asked him if he wants mushroom or paneer he said lets have both but in the same dish.

So I decided to use both in a gravy that I would use for Paneer with a little twist. So here we go.

Ingredients:

  1. Button Mushrrom : 2 cups cut into half
  2. Paneer: 1 cup cut into cubes
  3. Green Pea: 1/2 cup
  4. Onion : 1 medium finely chopped
  5. Tomato: 1 medium chopped finely
  6. Ginger Garlic Paste: 2 tbsp
  7. Poppy Seeds: 1 tsp
  8. Cashew: 1 tbsp
  9. Coriander Powder: 1 tsp
  10. Cumin Powder : 1 tsp
  11. Turmeric Powder: 1 tsp
  12. Red Chili Powder: 1 tbsp
  13. Milk : 1/2 cup
  14. Whole Garam Masala : 4 cloves, 1/2 inch cinnamon, 2 cardamon 
  15. Salt to Taste
  16. Oil for cooking

Procedure:

Dry roast the whole gram masala, poppy seeds and cashew.
Make a smooth paste of the gram masala, poppy seeds and cashew with little water.
In a pan heat 2 tbsp oil and fry the paneer cubes till golden born on both sides. remove from heat.
Heat 2 tbsp oil add 1/2 tsp sugar to it. Once the sugar turns brown add the chopped onion and sprinkle a pinch of salt. Cook till the onion is transparent.
Add the red chill powder to the onion and fry for 1-2 minutes. 
Add the ginger garlic paste salt, turmeric power, cumin powder, coriander powder and fry for few minutes. Add little water if required. Make sure the masala doesn't burn.
Add tomato, cover and cook till the tomato is soft and cooked. Mix all the masala tougher and cook till the raw smell is gone and little oil starts oozing out.
Add the Mushroom to the masala and cook for few minutes. Add the green peas, cover and cook till the mushroom is done. 
Add the poppy seed, cashew and garam masala paste to it and cook for 5-6 minutes. 
Add the paneer cubes to it. Add milk and cook till you receive a desired consistency.
Serve it hot with rooti, naan or paratha.



It turned out great , so decided to share with you all. So try it out.

Chicken Biryani in Rice cooker

I bought a new rice cooker few days back and since then haven't stopped experimenting on it. I used to think its just for cooking rice or steaming meat and veggies. I went through the whole recipe book that came along with it but ended with nothing. It has great recipes but they are not exactly what we prefer to eat. So I did a little research on my own. I have always made biryani the same way layering the half cooked chicken and half cooked rice and cook it over the heater in a cover pot. But most of the time I ended up with a small of portion of the masala, chicken and rice burning .So would go to a restaurant and eat briyani rather than going through all the trouble. After buying the rice cooker I decided to give chicken biryani one more shot in the rice cooker. I thought what the heck it can't be any worst :) And I am glad that I tried. It turned out amazing. It had every thing one looks for in a good biryani, aroma, flavor and juicy chicken. So here we go... Ingredients: C

The unripe green papaya can be eaten cooked, usually in curries, salads, and stews. Green papaya is used in Southeast Asian cooking, both raw and cooked.  Papaya fruit is a rich source of nutrients such as provitamin A carotenoids, vitamin C, B vitamins, lycopene, dietary minerals and dietary fibre.  Back at my mom's place we had a big garden where she used to grow all types of vegetables, Papaya, Banana, Tomato, green chillies and the list go on and on. If you have ever grown a papaya you know its like never ending fruits and there is always so much you can eat. Mostly my Mom would pick them before they are ripe and use them in santula or dalma. Here I am sharing the santula recipe that uses green papaya. Ingredients: Papaya: 1 medium cut in small cubes Potato: 1 small cut into cubes. Cumin seeds: 1tsp Green Chilli: 1-2 cut length wise. Tomato: 1 small cut into cubes. Turmeric Powder: 1 tsp Roasted cumin and red cilli Powder: 1 tsp (Look for the recipe in t
