Butter Beans and Green Peas Curry

Butter beans and green peas curry is a protein rich, highly nutritious curry. Butter beans is a nutrient rich food, a powerful anti oxidant and a protein power house. You can make this as a side dish for roti or pulao. I used fresh butter beans and fresh green peas, you can use the dried or the frozen variety too. If using the dried butter beans, make sure you soak it for a few hours before using it.

Egg Gravy

This is a tasty and rich egg gravy which goes very well with pulao or with roti. It's easy and simple to make and loved by kids too! I made this gravy with a puree of onion and tomato as we were having some kids over for lunch. If you prefer to have a little texture in your gravy then you can finely chop the onions and tomatoes and add it in.

Paneer Baby Corn Masala

I usually make a paneer baby corn kurma as a side for pulao which tastes really good so this time I wanted to make a masala as a side dish for roti. Once again this simple dish did not disappoint and tasted really yum! I was going to make the curry with only paneer and baby corn but then added the peas since I had some left over.

Soya Chunks Masala | Meal Maker Masala | Soya Chunks Recipes

I used to love soya chunks when I was little, I remember my mother making biryani with this meal maker and we used to enjoy it. But as we grew older, my brother and me started noticing a weird flavor and raw odour with these meal makers and completely refused to eat it!

Now many years later, I have found that preparing the soya is the key to remove all raw odour in these meal makers, I use a bit of milk and it works wonders and this has once again become a family favorite! 

Check out the soya 65 recipe.

Paneer Butter Masala Recipe

Paneer Butter Masala is one of the most popular Indian vegetarian dish. I read that this dish is by far the most preferred and most ordered dish in restaurants. I agree completely! If we go to a vegetarian restaurant, this is the dish I almost always order. This and Palak Paneer is my most favorite vegetarian dish. 
This is nothing but Indian cottage cheese in a thick tomato gravy. Tastes absolutely delicious!

If you want restaurant styled paneer butter masala, then you need to add cream and lots of cream! I did not want to make it so rich to made it half cream and half milk.
Years ago I watched a video of Vah chef in YouTube on how to make paneer butter masala and he had mentioned that restaurants use ketchup to make this gravy. And I always add ketchup and the taste is exactly like the paneer butter masala we have in restos! 
Goes well with roti, naan or even dosai.
