Ma, what's cooking? Part - 2


Ma, what’s cooking?Part - 2

-          ITC Kitchens of India


Day 2 of my experiments with cooking:

It difficult to search for food that is to my daughter’s liking. So I go to the masters that I buy once in a while in search for something new and appetizing…

Here’s one guru’s recipe from one of her older books:

Kadai Paneer
By Sarla Mafatlal

“Ingredients:

500 grams paneer
100 grams of capsicum
2 teaspoons coriander powder
2 whole red chillies
2 teaspoon kasoori methi
1 chopped green chilly (optional)
2 teaspoons chopped ginger
5 chopped tomatoes…
6 cloves garlic mixed with a little water

Method (Sigh. Is there more?)

1.       Slice the paneer and capsicum into evenly cut strips
2.       1…
3.       to…
4.       8…
5.       steps…
6.      
7.      
8.       …”

Darn! Too much work. Where are my Kitchens of India?

Aah, here they are!

Prize one open and pour the contents of the packet into a hot kadai…

Done. 

Serve hot with rotis.

 Bliss!
