Welcome to my Cooking Blog

I love experimenting..with food..personal looks...home decoration n all..and fortunately they work most of the time..I used to make only cakes in microwave when I was small...by reading recipes in magazines (net was not available at that time)..rest of cooking was always my mom's domain..but as the pressure of studies grew..I left cooking completely for some 6-8 years.I still remember..my roomie in Belleville,Canada taught me how to make simple Daal :).I had forgotton all...along with the confidence...
But after wedding..now I have my own kitchen...a very demanding husband when it comes to variety of food and keeping taste buds happy..a lovable brother-in-law who loves good food though doesn't demand much (probably shy!! )and being a responsible lady of the house..I am very cautious about nutrient value of food and hygiene along with calorie content (I am quite plumpy already :) ).
So,this blog is just a record of my experiments with the recipes I read on other food blogs or the standard recipes learnt from mom n friends...
As these all are experiments,so definite quantity of ingredients is not specified.Most are approximations as per my taste :).

Veggie Paneer

Well..I am a typical cancerian..Loves Paneer :)
Yesterday was my new experiment..with two main thoughts in mind - Should use Mint leaves assuring that their aura stays ( no frying like palak..i love mint smell) and with Paneer ..not in pieces form.

Ingredients:
1.Capsicum-1 big one -chopped in small pieces
2.One packet of Paneer-200 gms -grated
3.Carrots - 3 in number - Grated
4.Two onions - Sliced
5.Standard Masalas, anardana and pudina powder
6.tomato- one small- just small..as i dont want puree..- finely chopped
7.Mint keaves - 1/ 2 bunch i used.. chopped..but not so small that the essence is lost in full recipe
Procedure:

Same standard one i feel :)
1. Fry onions and tomato in oil with dry solid masalas..and then add capsicum
2. Once done..add carrot..and fry and add other masalas..then add mint leaves and paneer.
3.Add garam masala,pudina and anardana powder
4.Just cook for some 2 min..thn cover it with lid and turn off gas
5.Remove after some 20 min..It is ready to eat.
6.Dont cook it much as mint should be smelling in recipe :)

Loved by my brother-in-law..hubby dear is not here..so no comments from him :)
