You could also stuff it with various fillings and this time it is our favorite peas and paneer (Indian cheese). You can make paneer at home or buy it from the store. Fresh peas can also be used, but I felt...]]> http://cooksjoy.com/blog/2013/12/peas-paneer-paratha-mutter-paneer-paratha.html/feed 4 http://cooksjoy.com/blog/2013/05/beetroot-cheese-paneer-paratha.html http://cooksjoy.com/blog/2013/05/beetroot-cheese-paneer-paratha.html#comments Mon, 20 May 2013 05:47:58 +0000 Vardhini http://cooksjoy.com/blog/?p=11027 It rained all day today and we even had a power cut for an hour. Now that is surely nothing to folks in India who are having mandatory power cuts daily and I feel your pain since I experienced a glimpse of it last year.

It is very mildly spiced and is perfect for my picky eater who cannot stand even a bit of spice. I have also used frozen peas making...]]> http://cooksjoy.com/blog/2013/05/paneer-peas-pulao.html/feed 6 http://cooksjoy.com/blog/2013/04/carrot-paneer-bonda.html http://cooksjoy.com/blog/2013/04/carrot-paneer-bonda.html#comments Mon, 29 Apr 2013 05:26:04 +0000 Vardhini http://cooksjoy.com/blog/?p=11095 It felt great this weekend with the temperatures in the 80s and the kids had a blast outside. For this month Dish-it-out the ingredients are carrots and paneer and I decided to make these tasty carrot and paneer bondas.

Salads are mostly healthy and easy to make and I had always wanted to combine brussels sprouts with paneer. You can totally omit the paneer or just add crumbled fresh paneer to simplify the process. I had my friend’s daughter over and knowing that she...]]> http://cooksjoy.com/blog/2012/06/brussels-sprouts-paneer-salad.html/feed 23 http://cooksjoy.com/blog/2012/05/paneer-makhani-paneer-in-creamy-tomato-sauce.html http://cooksjoy.com/blog/2012/05/paneer-makhani-paneer-in-creamy-tomato-sauce.html#comments Wed, 23 May 2012 00:15:12 +0000 Vardhini http://cooksjoy.com/blog/?p=1521 I am not a big fan of paneer, but everyone else in the family loves it. I started experimenting with paneer dishes only over the past few years and make it for the sole reason that the kids love it plus it is an excellent source of calcium. This makhani also known as “Paneer Butter...]]> http://cooksjoy.com/blog/2012/05/paneer-makhani-paneer-in-creamy-tomato-sauce.html/feed 14 http://cooksjoy.com/blog/2012/04/basic-gravy-makhni-gravy.html http://cooksjoy.com/blog/2012/04/basic-gravy-makhni-gravy.html#comments Tue, 17 Apr 2012 09:00:49 +0000 Vardhini http://cooksjoy.com/blog/?p=215 I made this gravy last December for the Sinful Delight event. I posted the Paneer Tawa Masala that uses this gravy, but did not get a chance to post the gravy itself.

I had this at my friend’s place and decided to make it for “Sinful Delight” and for “Dish it Out – Cheese and Tomato”. The gravy uses a lot of butter and cream. I reduced it to half, but still it is rich.

The difference between the two is that rasagulla is in sugar water whereas rasmalai is in milk. The hard part is the rasagulla and since that was done I finally decided to blog about rasmalai....]]> http://cooksjoy.com/blog/2011/11/rasmalai-paneer-delicacy-indian-dessert.html/feed 0
