My girls like to eat chapathis for dinner.This aloo paneer sabji I made last week along with chapathis. It took just 15 mts to finish this and my girls loved it cos i always use less amount of chillies. I just made this for me and the girls cos my husband was out of town that day. Here goes the recipe.
Ingredients:-
Potato - 2 Medium sized (chopped into cubes)
Paneer - 1/4 cup (cubed)
Tomato - 1 medium sized
Onion - 1 medium sized
garlic - 1 pod
cashew - 4
poppy seeds - 1/2 tsp
turmeric powder - 1/4 tsp
Green chillies - 1 (acc to taste)
red chillies powder - 1/2 tsp
coriander seeds - 1 tsp
cumin seeds - 1/2 tsp
salt to taste
Ghee - 1 tsp
Cumin seeds - 1/4 tsp
Ajwain - 1/4 tsp
Microwave cubed potato in microwave using a microwave safe bowl for 4 to 6 mts or until its 3/4th done. In the mean time, fry paneer pieces adding a drop of oil to golden brown and keep it aside. Also grind onion, tomato, garlic, cashew, poppy seeds, green chillies, coriander seeds and 1/2 tsp cumin seeds to a fine paste. Now take a pan, pre heat ghee, splutter 1/4 tsp cumin and ajwain to golden brown. Add the grounded onion tomato paste, turmeric powder, red chillies powder, salt and required amount of water. Let it boil for 3 minutes. Now add the cooked potato and fried paneer pieces to the mixture and let everything cook for another 5 minutes. Adjust water according to the required consistency. Garnish it with coriander leaves and serve it hot.
Even though we have some disadvantages from our relocation, there are few notable advantages I can see in my girls. First thing is they have started saying Prayer every day which they never used to do when we were in US. Another one is eating vegetables. Since we live in Delhi right now, kids here bring some dry vegetable curry as side dish I believe (I am assuming they eat it also).So one fine day, my girls asked me to make side dish for their Chapathi which they used to take for lunch. Before I used to make Vegetable chapathis for lunch. But now a days I have started preparing side dishes instead of veggie chapathis. This is one kind of dry curry I made day before yesterday for their lunch.
