That Unplanned Paneer Overload Meal - Done Morris our driver, bless him, but I think he's losing his hearing🤦♀️I asked him to buy half a kilo of paneer. He didn't hear the half part🤦♀️So I had a kilo of paneer & just me(very small eater), Mangala (doesn't like paneer) & Morris to eat this as @beingbengt is travelling I didn't want to make the usual cream/milk based dishes, so I decided to wing it & made paneer two ways - just to have variety Clockwise : 1. That Green Velvet Paneer/Cottage Cheese I pan fried lightly salted paneer in a little oil & set aside I made a super smooth paste out of lots of fresh coriander, a handful of cashews, lime juice, yogurt, green chillies, fresh coconut & salt In the same pan that I fried the paneer, I tempered a little more oil with mustard seeds, cumin seeds, curry leaves, onions & garlic. I added the smooth paste, a little water, the fried cottage cheese & simmered till it came together 2. That Twisted Tandoori Paneer I marinated cubed paneer in a mix of whipped yogurt, red chilli powder, tandoori chicken masala & fresh coriander I tempered oil with mustard seeds, cumin seeds, curry leaves, onions & garlic. I added tomatoes, salt, coriander powder, red chilli powder & once pulpy, I added in the marinated paneer along with the marinade, fresh coriander, a little warm milk & simmered till done 3. That Salad 😂 : Cucumber & lime 4. Those whole wheat parathas Since Morris had made the blunder of buying double the quantity of paneer, I made him eat lunch too And not to self praise, but both paneer dishes turned out so good Morris gave me a cheeky glance & said " See Madam, if I had bought only half kilo paneer, you would not have made these tasty dishes!" 🙄😂What a cheeky guy!! 🤣🤣 . . . #truecook #eatdelicious #simplemeals #paneer #cottagecheese #roti #homecookedfood #indianfood #thenewhealthy # #sayyestotheworld #homecooks #vivographer #beautifulcuisines #mumbaigram #wahindia (at Pune, Maharashtra) https://www.instagram.com/p/BzqJoxSgWzj/?igshid=34pkacpttqk7
