Tawa Paneer

     Nowadays am becoming a huge fan for “Paneer” so trying new recipes using it. So in that queue, yesterday tried a dish called “Tawa Paneer” inspired from Home cooking channel in youtube. This was really a sooper-dooper diah for all spicy lovers. Go ahead for the preparation method.

ALL YOU NEED:

Chopped Onion	2 Nos.
Chopped Tomato	1 No.
Chopped GreenChilly	2 No.
Chaat Masala Powder	1 spoon
GingerGarlic Paste	1 spoon
Coriander Powder	1 spoon
Turmeric Powder	1/2 spoon
Diced Capsicum	1 1/2 cups
Cumin Powder	1 spoon
Kasuri Methi	2 spoons
Butter	1 spoon
Salt	To Taste
Oil	2 spoons

To Marinate:

Paneer Cubes	500 gms
Kashmiri Chillypowder	3 spoons
Garam Masala	1 spoon
Thick Curd	1/2 cup
Salt	Pinch

METHOD:

    Marinate paneer with all the ingredients listed in “To Marinate” and allow it to sit for 30 minutes to an hour.

    Meantime, heat butter and oil in a tawa or nonstick pan, add finely chopped onion, fine chopped green chillies, saute it until it becomes transparent. Now add a spoon of ginger garlic paste, diced capsicum, and fine chopped tomato. Saute well until it becomes mushy. Now add turmeric powder, coriander powder, cumin powder, red chilly powder, and salt. Mix well and add 1/4 cup of water. Let it cook until raw smell goes. Once done, add marinated paneer, keep the flame in medium and gently mix with the masala without breaking the paneer. Let it roast for a while. When the oil starts oozing out and the marinated masalas are cooked, add some crushed kasuri methi. Give a quick stir and put off the stove.

Note: I used medium sized onions and big tomato. Using colored capsicum will make dish colorful.

Banana Halwa

     Whenever i buy banana, definitely there will be some poor well-ripe banana with no helping hands. So i use to trash it but suddenly this recipe flashed my mind and i started freezing it and tried this dish 2 days back.

ALL YOU NEED:

Ripe Banana	10 Nos.
Cardomon Powder	1 spoon
Roasted Nuts	3 spoons
Brown Sugar	1 cup
Ghee	6 spoons
Salt	Pinch

METHOD:
     Blend the ripe banana to a smooth paste. Heat 6 spoons of ghee in a nonstick pan. Roast the mixed nuts and keep it separately. Pour the banana puree, keep stirring until it reduce to half (it will start bubbling up, so be careful) and add the powdered sugar, cardamon powder, and pinch of salt. Reduce the flame to medium and keep stirring it until the mixture leaves it sides. Add roasted nuts and give a quick mix. Then take a plate or glass container and grease it with ghee and pour the halwa mixture and garnish with grated nuts. Let it cool for more than an hour and cut it to desired shape.
