Ingredients Of Handi Paneer

·         200 grams paneer (plump fresh cheese prepared by curdling milk and then pressing)

·         2 gingers, chopped

·         1 medium tomato, finely chopped

·         2 stalks coriander leaves, roughly picked

·         4 tbsp refined oil

·         1/2 tsp turmeric powder

·         2 pinches black pepper powder, for seasoning

·         1/2 tsp chili powder

·         1/2 tsp garam masala powder

·         1/2 cup water

·         3 onions, thinly sliced

·         1/2 cup curd, beaten

How to prepare Handi Paneer

Pour some oil in a handi or cooking pot. Add in the sliced onions and set the flame to medium heat.

When the onions decolorize and turn golden, reduce the flame heat to low. Add in the grated gingers at this stage.

Mix in the garam masala powder, chili powder and the turmeric powder at the same instance. Then rigorously mix the ingredients together.

Finely chop the tomato into small pieces. Add them in the main dish as well - they will ooze out and liquidize the dish. Cook this liquidized sauce for 10 minutes more to dry it a bit.

Next, thoroughly beat and whisk in the half cup of curd. Add some salt along with it. Now cook the dish until all the water is soaked up.

Pour in about half cup of water and cook until it begins to boil.

Place the malai paneer into the steaming Handi or cooking pot and add stir. Pause for  minute and then add in the picked coriander leaves. Cook for a few minutes until all the water dries up and an oil glaze starts to show.

Add black pepper for the final touch and remove the prepared dish from the heat.

Place in a large serving bowl and sprinkle fresh coriander leaves over the aromatic Handi. Serve and let the traditional eastern masala spice up your taste buds.

Chicken Curry With Rice Recipe

Preparation

Cooking

4 People

Ingredients

·         1 pound boneless chicken breast, slit into inch-sized cutlets

·         1 small yellow or white onion, thinly sliced

·         1 tbsp minced garlic

·         Half cup chicken stock(can be substituted with half cup of water)

·         2 tbsp yellow curry powder

·         15 ounces coconut milk 

·         1 tbsp vegetable oil

·         1 tbsp Thai red curry paste

·         1 tbsp brown sugar

·         salt (for seasoning; your own taste preferred)

·         1 teaspoon fish sauce

·         2 tbsp lime juice

·         handful fresh cilantro (roughly chopped)

·         4 cups  white rice 

How to prepare Chicken Curry With White Rice

Pour oil in a large cooking pot and heat at a medium-low flame. Add the cut slices of onions, minced garlic paste and continue to cook until the onions change to white coloration and completely soften.

Blitz the chicken pieces into the main dish and cook for around 3 minutes. When the pieces have adequately browned, sprinkle the curry powder along with the Thai curry paste and cook for 3 minutes further.

In the next stage, pour in some coconut milk and let the ingredients simmer for 10 to 15 minutes. Make sure the chicken is completely cooked at this instance, if not utilize a few more minutes.

Pour the chicken stock or water into the main dish and monitor the consistency of the sauce.

How thick you want your final sauce to be is entirely your choice. If you prefer thin curry sauce, you can add some more chicken stock or water before simmering. I would like to highlight that the chicken by default oozes out a lot of juice so the sauce will automatically thin while cooking. At this point, you might want to thicken it so eventually you’ simmer longer. You can manage the stove heat accordingly.

Add the following final ingredients for the enhanced flavor, some lime juice, brown sugar and fish sauce. Taste the prepared sauce and add in salt to adjust it to your preference.

Garnish the sauce with cut cilantro and the steaming Chicken Curry is ready.

Prepare the white rice in a traditional manner by placing them in boiling water. Add salt and spices according to your personal preference. Once they are adequately cooked, drain and then place them in a large flat platter for the final serve.

Serve the succulent Chicken Curry alongside the steaming White Rice to mark a warm and intimate family lunch or dinner.
