Tangy Paneer Bell pepper

Dear Friends,

Since i have become a vegetarian, i'm running short of vegetables here in Islamabad and this summer has been quite worse. Ofcourse i'm the panner lover  and those bell peppers in my fridge  were glaring at me as it had been quite a few days since i had bought those , so here i came up with this tangy paneer and bell pepper  gravy

Ingredients

Onion - 1 medium sized
Tomato - 3 medium sized
Paneer - 200 gms
Bell peppers - 2 medium sized
Ginger garlic paste - 1 tspn
Kasoori methi(dried fenugreek leaves ) - 2 tspns
Cinnamon - 1/2 inch

turmeric powder - 1/2 tspn
Kashmiri mirch - 1/2 tspn

Method

• I made these paneer at home , i have used milk to make paneer in case you want to know the  method pls click (although this version i had used milk powder, but the underlying method remains the same) here 
• heat little oil in a non stick pan and gently toast the paneer adding turmeric powder to it
• when the paneer has begun to slightly brown remove ans transfer to a plate
• add remaining oil and toss in the cinnamon, cloves, cardamom and then kasoori methi and then add the ginger garlic paste and fry for a min
• puree the onions and tomatoes together and add it and keep sauting till becomes devoid of the raw smell now toss in the diced bell peppers and keep sauting
• when it becomes dry add little water and add the kashmiri mirch and the chettinad masala , add little more water, just enough to make it little saucy when the bell peppers have been cooked toss the paneer stir for few mins and remove from flame check salt
• add water to your desired consistency.

Back from my hibernation !

Dear fellow bloggers,

Its been years since i last blogged . Well lot of happenings at the home front.
There has been a new addition to our family, he will be completing 2 yrs soon.
i had shifted to India and somehow lost touch with the blogosphere.
Its been 4 months since i moved to Islamabad,Pakistan.
I'm doing my post graduation as well, So sort of tied down plus i have not been cooking
anything worth while to be entered here. Lost in motherhood as well ! But still i felt that i needed to
do what i liked, that i should squeeze in some time  for myself. There were many times i thought i should write about a particular recipe and would hunt for my camera and lo the battery would have been drained out ! the stupid me dint recharge it ! well there is always a next time.
well one reason or the other intertwined and i had sort of lost interest and of course the lazy me !
well finally i have decided to break the ice and come out of my hibernation !

• Mix the dry ingredients with the activated yeast mixture, add oil and yogurt. Add the herbs and knead on a floured surface. Knead for 13-15 minutes by hand, or use a kneader attachment on the mixer. The dough should be soft and smooth.Cover and let it sit in a warm place for about 1 1/2 hours or till it doubles in size.
• After that, take the dough, fold it over 3 or 4 times, releasing the air bubbles. Pinch into smaller balls, roll them neatly and firmly. Place it on a baking tray with enough room to expand while baking.

Pound Cake

Hey friends

yesterday i had spent a considerable amount of time Baking ! i beginning to fall in love witht he baking process.. i feel so elated when the result turns out good , as though i have done a magic :-)
i had so many recipes bookmarked to be tried and one such is the pound cake from
Finger Licking Food by Namratha...
i have followed her recipe dint change even a thing.. the original recipe is here
but still i will give the recipe
The cake came out awesome and i have been snacking on it since yesterday !

Ingredients

2 cups All-purpose flour

1 tbsp Baking powder

¼ tsp Salt

1 cup Sugar

2 sticks unsalted butter, at room temp

4 eggs, at room temp

1 tsp Vanilla extract

Method

• Centre a rack in the oven and preheat oven to 325F.
• Butter a 9 x 5” loaf pan. Place on a baking sheet.
• Whisk flour, salt and baking powder in a bowl.
  
• Cream butter and sugar in another bowl on high speed for 5 minutes, till light and fluffy.
• Scrape down the sides of the bowl. With the mixer on medium speed, add one egg at a time. Beat 1-2 minutes after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

• Turn the speed to low, and add the flour little at a time, just until incorporated. Do not overmix it. Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan. Place in the centre of the rack in oven and bake for 70-75 minutes. The cake is done when a knife inserted in the centre of the cake comes out clean.
• Remove from oven and transfer loaf pan to a rack. Let rest for 30 minutes, and then invert onto rack. Cool completely before slicing and storing.
  

Slicing: Slice it with a long serrated knife using a sawing motion. You can slice it thin or thick depending on what you are using it for.

Storing: Wrap the pound cake tightly with cling wrap and let sit on your kitchen counter. This tastes better the longer it sits. If wrapped well, the cake will hold good for 5-7 days at room temperature.

Channa Batura / chick peas curry

Chickpeas are a helpful source of zinc, folate and protein. They are also very high in dietary fiber and hence a healthy source of carbohydrates for persons with insulin sensitivity or diabetes Chickpeas are low in fat and most of this is polyunsaturated (source :wikipedia)

When i got engaged my office colleague sent me an email containing a recipe PDF..
I had neatly printed it out and filed it. This came in handy during my trial times as i was zero in cooking .. i have tried this several times and this has always been a super duper hit at my place..
