egg curry

2012-03-11T04:09:00.001-07:00

There are several different styles for making Egg Curry and this recipe is North Indian in origin. Serve Egg Curry with a vegetable side dish and rice.
Ingredients:
•6 hard boiled eggs
•5 tbsps vegetable/ canola/ sunflower cooking oil
•2 medium sized onion cut into quarters
•3 medium sized tomatoes cut into quarters
•2 green chillies
•2 tsps garlic paste
•2 tsps ginger paste
•2 tsps coriander powder
•1 tsp cumin powder
•1 tsp garam masala
•1/2 tsp turmeric powder
•1/2 tsp red chilli powder
•Salt to taste
•Chopped fresh coriander leaves to garnish
•2 potatoes cut into 1" cubes (optional)
Preparation:
•Heat 2 tbsps of the cooking oil in a deep pan and when hot, add the onions. Fry till slightly golden. Turn off the fire. Use a slotted spoon to remove the onions from the pan and put them in a food processor. Grind the onions, tomatoes, green chillies into a smooth paste. Try not to add water while grinding, if possible.
•Heat the remaining oil in the same pan and add the paste you just made to it when it is hot. Fry for 2-3 minutes.
•Add the ginger and garlic pastes, all the dry spices, mix and fry till the oil begins to separate from the masala (onion-tomato-spice mix).

•Now add 2 cups of warm water to this masala and bring to a boil on a medium flame.
•If adding potatoes to the curry, add them now and cook till half done.
•Half slit the boiled eggs vertically and add them gently to the gravy. Simmer the flame and cook for 10 minutes or till the gravy is thickened/ reduced to about 3/4 of the original quantity (when you added the water). If you have added potatoes they should ideally be cooked by now.
•Turn off the fire and garnish with chopped coriander leaves. Serve hot with rice and a vegetable side dish.

paneer buter masala

2012-03-11T04:08:00.002-07:00

Helo ...this is a panner dish i.e panner butter masala..i luv it because it'll be very spicy .u can try it when guests arrive to ur house ..soo lets see about it..

Add 2 tbsp oil to a hot pan and swirl around until the base of the pan is well coated.

Add in cubed paneer pieces.

Lightly fry the paneer cubes until golden brown on all sides.

Drain and set aside on a plate lined with a paper napkin.

Add 1tbsp oil to the same pan and thrown 1 medium-sized chopped onion.

Fry until golden brown. To this, add 1 tbsp freshly minced ginger-garlic paste. (Ok fine, use your bottled paste, it just doesn't taste as good)

Fry for a minute.

To this, add 1 tbsp dhania powder/malli podi, 1 tsp chilli powder, 1 tsp garam masala and 1/2 tsp salt. Fry for 30 seconds until the masalas are well combined.

Next you need 1 tbsp tomato paste. I used the same kind I used for the Tomato Spinach Pulao. If you don't have tomato paste handy, just puree 1 medium-sized tomato and add it at this stage.

Next we need tomato ketchup or tomato sauce, the bottled Maggi/Heinz kind. Add in an almost-1tbsp of this.

To this mixture, add 1/2 cup milk. Mix well and cook covered for about 5 minutes on low fire.

Once the tomato sauce mixture has cooked covered for 5 mins, open and add the fried paneer.

Top this off with 1 cup cream. Mix well and simmer on low fire for 3-4 mins. Adjust salt.

The recipe again, all in one place
