Paneer Pasanda


Paneer pasanda is a savoury dish with paneer sandwiches and a tangy gravy. This recipe is super tasty but it takes a bit of time to prepare it.

Paneer needs to be stuffed with dryfruits and chutney to make a sandwich and carefully fried.  Gravy for the paneer pasanda is kept a bit tangy yet cream nd cashew paste is added to make the gravy rich. As i said its time taking.... but the end product is really worth it. Paneer pasanda... as the name says paneer to everybody's liking, I am sure everybody's gonna like it.

Veg kadai




 Veg kadai.... It is an extremely easy to make recipe with simple vegetables. It usually happens in almost all households that by the last day of the week all vegetables in the fridge are almost over and all that is left are few capsicums and carrots. Same happens with me... and i feel so lazy to cook on weekends. So this recipe is always a saviour. Its easy to prepare with simple spices and some fresh cream. Yet the result is always facsinating... which leaves everybody just drool over it.

Cheesy corn and spinach sandwch







Ingredients:                                                                                                             

1. Bread slices - 8 (brown or white)

2. Boiled sweet corn - 1 cup

3. Onion chopped- 1/2 cup

4. Spinach - 1 cup

5. Butter - 3 tbsp ( divided )

6. Wholewheat flour - 1 tbsp

7. Milk - 1/2 cup

8. Oregano- 1 tsp

9. Black pepper- 1/2 tsp

10. Salt to taste

11. Oil- 1 tsp

12. Cheese cubes- 2

Method:-

1. Preparation: First wash the spinach, cut it finely then boil it for 3-4 mins in water. Once boiled strain it and keep aside. Also boil the sweet corn. Chop the onion finely.

2. To prepare the veggie mix: In a pan put oil, once it is hot add the onions and saute` it till it gets translucent. Then add onions and spinach. Add salt and oregano. Saute` it well and turn the flame off.

3.White sauce: In another pan or kadai heat 1 tbsp of batter. Once it melts add the whole wheat flour. Keep stirring it using  wire whisk so that no lumps are formed. In a min it wil change its colour to slighty golden. Just then add the milk. Stir continously. It will start thickenng. Turn off the flame and add the pepper powder and the veggie mix.

4. Transfer the mixture in a bowl and then add grated cheese. If u add the cheese in the hot kadai it will start sticking to the kadai because of the hot temp of the kadai.

5. To make sandwiches: Take 2 bread slices. Apply a thin coat of butter on both bread slices. On one bread spread the prepared mixture and cover it with the other slice. Now toast the sandwich on  non stick pan or grill. Add butter to the sandwich while toasting it. 

6. Delicious and healthy corn and spinach sandwich is ready.



Notes:
I have used wholewheat flour instead of Maida  to make the white sauce to make it a little healtier.
You can use olive oil instead  of butter for toasting the sanwiches to cut the fat content.
