Random Blurbs

HAPPYYY NEWW YEARRR!!! Well I guess its time I officially announced "I am Engaged" ... So in an effort to follow Yvette's footsteps, who in an effort to become a better cook after marriage started a blog. Periodically, I plan to post up new recipes - partially because I loved her idea of posting new recipes, partially because I love cooking and partially because my fiance is a great cook... but thankfully not very picky.. although very brutal when it comes to making fun of me :) ..

So here goes my first recipe:

Paneer Tikka Masala

Ingredients:
Oil
Cumin Seeds
Asoefotida (hing) powder - pinch
1 Pack Paneer
3/4 Onion - cut into strips
1 Bell Pepper - cut into strips
2 Tomatoes - blend (ready made tomato puree does not give the same taste)
Chilli Powder to taste
Salt to taste
2 tsp. Turmeric

Heat oil in a pan and add a pinch of hing with cumin seeds. Throw in the onion strips and turmeric on top. Stir until onions are half cooked. Add the Bell Peppers and let them cook. add the tomato puree, salt and chilli and stir. Throw in all the paneer and let is cook until the tomato puree disappears adn the paneer starts to stick. Browned paneer tastes better in this recipe. Serve hot.

Leftovers make for good wraps. Take a tortilla, warm it up until a little browned and stuff it with the paneer.
