Till about 12 years back, I was under the impression that Kadai Paner was one of those exotic dishes, which could be whipped up only by those highly experienced cooks/chefs. Only when I came across this recipe and when I tried it out myself did I realise how wrong I was. This recipe calls for basic ingredients generally available at home and can be easily prepared.

Almonds are very good sources of vitamin E, manganese, magnesium, copper, riboflavin (vitamin B2), and phosphorus. No, I am not talking about mining these minerals for industrial use. 
These minerals in trace amounts are required by our body to remain healthy. Though almonds are considered fatty, the good news is that they are good for our heart. They are widely used in India as an ingredient in several dishes. When you add almonds to any dish, it makes the dish even more tastier and gives a richness to its gravy. (more…)

Paneer Makhani is one of the simplest North Indian gravy that I have made. As the name suggests, it needs to be cooked in butter. However, keeping the “eat healthy” aspect in mind, I use a non -stick pan to reduce the consumption of butter. If you want to indulge yourself, go ahead and use butter generously. (more…)

When it comes to cooking, I sometimes wish we were abroad. All I had to do was to decide the recipe for the day/week and run to the nearby grocer and pick up the ingredients. Sadly, That’s not the situation in India. Sometimes it’s so difficult to get certain ingredients. Especially for nomads like us, it becomes all the more difficult.. By the time you figure out a place where you get all the stuff, it’s time for your move..
