Yesterday I prepared this gravy to go with the soft Kahmiri roti. Even this gravy is from the mughlai cuisine. This is a curd based gravy and tastes very rich along with the rotis. I have sauteed the paneer until golden. But if you choose to deep fry, it will…
Tofu is a great substitute for Paneer and is power packed. It is made from the milk extracted from soy beans. I have prepared tofu at home. But as it is a lengthy process, I usually buy a pack of tofu whenever I visit the super market. I got bored…
Sambar is an essential part of South Indian meal. There are so many varieties of sambar. Either they differ by vegetables or by the dhal used. I wanted my daughter to have a good portion of greens in her diet. Though I don’t usually add greens in sambar, I added…
Like paneer butter masala, mushroom butter masala is also a rich gravy and goes well with all flat breads. I made it for dinner yesterday accompanied by rotis. It was so delicious and PK enjoyed it. It tasted like the Mushroom Butter Masala we used to have at The Temple…

I have already posted a version of Paneer Butter Masala but this is a richer version. This contains fried onion paste which gives it the lovely sweet flavour. I usually don’t add sugar to my gravies. But when we usually taste restaurant gravies there is a slight sweetness in them…
Mor Kulambu is one of my favourite kulambu variety. But as hubby is not so keen in eating it, I usually don’t prepare it at home. Last month when my hubby’s sister visited us, I asked her whether she likes mor kulambu. She readily agreed and I prepared it for…
