Sandwich Chutney – Green Sandwich Chutney

March 27, 2018 Chutney Recipes  No comments

Green Sandwich Chutney is a simple chutney that comes handy while making sandwiches. I totally love the fresh flavour of coriander and mint leaves. This can be made previously and stored in the fridge. It stays fresh for 4-5 days only though. All u need are a few ingredients, whip it smooth with little water and Tadaa! Sandwich Chutney ready! U can smear it on bread and make “n” number of sandwich varieties. 🙂 I recently made Paneer Sandwich with this chutney.

Atta Halwa or whole Wheat Flour Halwa is an easy sweet/dessert that can be made in less than 20 mins. This is a no fail recipe. With just 3 ingredients, this is a quick sweet for sudden cravings or any special occasion. This halwa is smooth, moist & it will just melt in your mouth. My mom makes this when she makes ghee. She uses the same pan in which she makes ghee to make this Atta Halwa, the idea being – ghee sticking to the pan will not go waste. Am wondering myself, how I missed to post this recipe here for so long. Anyways here it is, the humble Wheat Flour Halwa. This is a very good combo with Poori in North India.

Paneer Tikka – How to make Paneer Tikka

March 12, 2018 Holi RecipesPaneer Dishes  2 comments

Paneer Tikka is a delicious starter made by arranging paneer & veggies in a skewer and then grilled/baked in an oven or tandoor. I made it in a normal pan on stove top and came out really well. It tasted much better than restaurant ones as u all know it is a very popular starter in any restaurant menu. So nothing can stop u if u dont have an oven. I will try the oven method and update here when possible. Check my Paneer 65 recipe too.
