Palak Paneer Paratha

I love to make this paratha as it is one good way of giving goodness of spinach and paneer to my little picky eater :) Very easy to cook. I used fresh spinach, frozen can be used too. I normally prepare paneer in advance and keep it in my fridge. Find the recipe here

Ingredients:

For Dough:

Whole wheat flour - 2 cups
Spinach - 1 bunch, chopped

For Filling:

Paneer, crumbled - 2.5 cups
Cilantro leaves, chopped - 1/2 cup
Salt - to taste
Black pepper , crushed

Oil

Method:

Prepare Dough

Steam spinach and mash it in a hand blender to make smooth paste
Mix the spinach paste to the flour and prepare dough using little by little water
Keep the dough at room temperature for ~ 30 minutes

Prepare Filling

Crumble paneer and mix salt, pepper, cilantro. Adjust for taste

Prepare Paratha

Make parathas by pinching small balls from the dough. Roll a little and put the paneer stuffing on top. Seal the edge and roll it again
Fry the parathas on hot tawa/griddle by brushing little oil on both sides
Serve it with Khatti Meethi Tamatar ki Chutney (Aromatic Sweet and Sour Tomato Dip)

Rice Kheer in Rice Cooker

Till now, I have been using rice cooker for just cooking rice. Recently I learnt that one cook toor daal (lentil soup), daal makhani and rice kheer. Since, dessert is my weakness, I thought I should start with rice kheer. Ingredients Rice - 1/2 cup Whole milk - 1.5 cups + more Raisins - 1/4 cup Sugar - 1/2 cup Cardamom powder - 1/4 tsp Ghee (clarified butter oil) - 1/2 tsp Method Rinse rice with water. Drain excess water and put rice in the slow cooker. Pour all the milk and turn on the rice cooker and cover the lid. It is important to stir kheer from to time to time. Add sugar. You may need to add more milk as the milk concentrates before the rice is cooked. Once the rice cooked in milk turn off the switch. Heat ghee in a laddle. When hot add the raisins and cook on low heat till raising loook golden and pour the mixture in the kheer. Sprinkle the cardamom powder and serve cold or warm

Tips: While preparing the dough you can add some fresh petals to add beautiful pattern During baking, one of my...
