Shahi Paneer (Lighter Version)

Shahi Paneer(Lighter version)/

Paneer Dish/Cottage Cheese Gravy

Hi Friends,

My son likes paneer (cottage Cheese) very much, though he is a fussy eater, but there are few dishes which he takes without any fuss, and even ask to make them again and again. Paneer, soya chunks, parantha are few of them. So i try to make them very often. Since my childhood i was very fond of Shahi paneer, in every restaurant i use to order it or ask my mom to make it for me, after 8th standard i started doing experiment in the kitchen. If any guest is coming i use to prepare the food (yes, while i was doing my secondary (10th) i use to make food, that much i loved cooking) and my star dish was always Shahi paneer and Dal Makahni. I have seen people have their own version. Here i am giving my version which is lighter then original recipe. 

       

It is a very rich dish. Full of flavors, creamy, melt in mouth kind. But now everything has changed. I do not even remember when last time i made this dish. If paneer is in my hand then i make kofta, parantha, simple paneer dry or some times kadai paneer.  So after a long time i decided to make Shahi Paneer. Because of some reasons i was not able to make rich version, so i decided to make lighter version (i was also tired of eating same simple dry paneer and kadai paneer). It came out good. My husband did not liked it much, but for me and kids it was just perfect. I was happy with the changes i made. If you are eager to have Kadai Paneer but not that much rich, then try this. Next time will try rich version for hubby dear. Till then enjoy this.

Notes:-

1. It is a lighter version so i used milk, you can use cream and make it thinner by using milk or water and use instead of milk.
2. Cook onion tomato mix very well (till the oil oozes out) otherwise milk will curdle up.
3. Cut paneer as per your wish. I made triangles out of it.
4. Garnish it with coriander leaves. I had some pomegranate pearls so i used to decorate it but afterwords i realised that it was great idea to mix it with gravy.

Whole Wheat Ladoo Wrap

Whole Wheat Sweet Wrap/
Grilled Sweet Wrap/
Ladoo Chapaati Wrap

Hi Friends,

India is a land of culture and celebration. Celebration is a part of our life. Celebration means lots of sweets (this is my definition) hehehe. I remember my childhood days when we wait for festivals, as on that particular day we will get lots of sweets and a kid like me who can survive on sweets, those days were golden days. My parents were never worried about the sweets piling in the fridge, they were fully sure that all will be finished by me. Yes i am that much sweet lover. 

           

On every occasion i use to devour each and every sweet one by one Without fearing of piling kilos or embarrassment of that somebody gazing at my plate to watch that how much I am eating, . Now being mom of two kids, I try to avoid sweets and every time I tried, i failed heheheh. Still i have a kid inside me who come out every time i see sweets  and without any quilt i gulp as much as i can, but there is a bit difference now that i try to hide my plate from my husband who always raise an eyebrow watching me eating all that, as i have already piled up so many kilos. Still not able to control. Any ideas to control the craving?

Few days back I was craving for something sweet, i was having some ladoos in hand. but already gulped so many, so wanted something different. Then this idea came to my mind. I made it and it was disappeared within few minutes, i got only one piece as all are gulped by others. no regrets. Try with your kids favorite sweet like dry gulab jamun, barfi, kalakand etc. I am more then sure that they will like it.(i am dying to try it with kalakand and mawa burfi). Till then enjoy this.

Ingredients:-

Chapati      - 2

Any sweet - 2-3 pieces (i used ladoo)

Ghee         - 2-3 tsp 

Method:-

Take your ingredients

Apply ghee on both chapati

Break ladoo and apply on half portion of the chapati

Now wrap them with other half like this

Apply ghee on it

Put in your griller or simply roast on your roti tawa

DONE

SERVE

Notes:-

1. You can make this wrap with any dry sweet like barfi, ladoo mawa roll etc.
2. You can use butter or oil instead of ghee, but if you want real flavor then use ghee.
3. I used whole wheat chapati,you can use tortillas.
