Ricotta Gnocchi - much simpler than you think

Get the water boiling in a pot, add kosher salt. In about a cup and half of ricotta cheese, add 1 egg, about 1/4 cup permesan cheese, about a tablespoon of olive oil, salt and mix. Add about a cup of flour, and make a super soft dough. Oil hands, and make a roll. Once the water comes to boil, start cutting the ghnocchis and add them to the water. Once they come up, they're done. Serve with toasted walnuts, pesto and peas or any other sauce of your liking. https://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/geoffrey-zakarian/ricotta-gnocchi-2707052

Super Simple Methi Paneer

My friend K. shared this recipe, and it's been a go-to recipe for parties: Puree onion, tomatoes and garlic. Saute in oil for a few mins. Add amchur, garam masala and kasuri methi. Add cashewnut paste. boil it and add paneer (only for a small bit). Salt, sugar, mirchi powder.

Party Favorites- Paneer Cutlets and PIneapple Juice

Made these for 10th anniversary party and they were both a hit. The paneer cutlets were by the appatizer queen, Ruchi Bharani: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_1aSPJ7s1KE I made them really small to make them bite sized.  Prep the veggies first, and heat some oil. In a food processor, chop veggies and add them to the oil one by one: Ginger, green chillies, Onions, carrots, green and red peppers and cabbage, cilantro. Saute everything, add some salt, and set aside.  In the same food processor, add large pieces of paneer, and pulse till coarse. Take it out in a plate, add mashed aloo, veggies, corn flour, garam masala, amchoor, chat masala, salt and a bit of lime juice. Mix everything, make small tikkis. Beat an egg (can also do besan + water if you want to avoid egg), dip the tikki in the egg, and some panko breadcrumbs and fry. Mumma's Pineapple juice: Pineapple, mint, lime and black salt.
