Cooking time-45 mins

Serves- 4

Recipe ingredients

  • Oil or ghee – 2 tsp
  • Cashew nuts – 4-5, broken
  • Mustard seeds – 1/4 tsp
  • Urad dal – 1 tsp
  • Rava/sooji/semolina – 1 1/2 cups
  • Ginger – 1 tbsp, grated or finely chopped
  • Green chili – 1, finely chopped
  • Curry leaves – 6-8, cut into thin ribbons
  • Cilantro leaves – 2 tbsp, chopped
  • Carrot – 1 medium-sized, shredded
  • Yogurt – 3/4 cup
  • Salt – 1 tsp
  • Baking soda – 1/4 tsp

Recipe preparation

  1. Heat oil (or ghee) in a large skillet. Fry the cashews, drain and keep aside.
  2. Then add the mustard seeds and urad dal. Fry till the seeds crackle and the urad dal turns light golden.
  3. Then add the rava/semolina and roast for a couple of minutes on medium heat, stirring all the while.
  4. Remove this to a mixing bowl and cool slightly. Then add the fried cashews, ginger, green chili, curry leaves, cilantro and carrots. Sir to combine, add yogurt, mix well till it the mixture is uniformly moistened.
  5. Add a little water to make a smooth, but thick batter. The batter should be thicker than a regular pancake or dosa batter. Cover the bowl and rest for half an hour.
  6. After half an hour, add salt and baking soda to the batter and mix well. Adjust with a bit of water if batter seems to have thickened further.
  7. Meanwhile, heat water in a steamer vessel. Grease and set aside the idli plates.
  8. Pour batter in the idli plates and steam in the steamer vessel for 8-10 minutes or till idlis are cooked (check with a toothpick to see if it comes clean).
  9. Remove from steamer, rest for 5 minutes and remove the idlis from the idli plates using a spoon.
  10. Serve idlis immediately with hot sambar and spicy chutney powder. Store leftovers in a hot-pot or casserole. These can be re-heated in the microwave or lightly steamed again.

Tandoori paneer tikka

Marinated pieces of paneer grilled to perfection

Prep time- 40 minutes

Cooking time- 15 mins

Serves- 6

Recipe ingredients

  • 250 gms paneer
  • 50 gms hung curd
  • 1 1/2 tsp tandoori masala
  • 1/2 tsp ginger- garlic paste
  • 1/2 tsp oil +for grilling

Recipe preparation

  1. Whisk yogurt with hand whisk to a smooth consistency.
  2. Mix all the spices including 1/2 tsp oil .
  3. Gently rub the mixture over the paneer ,and let it marinate for 1/2an hour .
  4. Chop the capsicum and onion into dices, the size of paneer .
  5. Soak the bamboo skewers in water for 1/2 an hr.
  6. Arrange a piece of paneer on the skewer followed by onion and capsicum .
  7. Grease a pan / a grill and grill the skewers of paneer for 5 mints both sides,or until golden on a low flame .
  8. Serve it with your choice of salad or chutney.

 

My tip: If you are using frozen paneer soak it in hot water for 1/2 an hr and then continue . Use tandoori masala a per your choice . Be careful while flipping ,since its marinated in yogurt it tends to stick to the pan ,If it does so then use a knife to slowly release it . U can use regular metal skewers too for this .
