When the milk is about to go bad..Bring milk to a boil in a big pan, and add lime juice. Stir till the milk separates, then strain out the paneer and let drain. Boil, peel and mash potatoes. Mix potatoes, paneer, corn starch, salt, chopped cilantro, finely chopped green chillies and a pinch of garam masala. Make small round koftas and fry on a slow-medium flame. For the gravy, blend together boiled onions, soaked cashewnuts and khuskhus, ginger-garlic paste and a green chilli. Heat oil, fry the white paste, add water, salt, sugar and cream and boil on a medium flame. Add koftas and serve.
This one is in memory of one of my best friends' mom....S. used to bring this in her lunchbox and I ate it all up....Today I wanted to make it for my daughter, so I called up S.'s older sister for the recipe..this one's for you, Masi! Chop Bhinda in slices. Heat oil (slightly more, cause it's bhindi). Add mustard seeds, a few methi seeds (rai:methi=4:1), a pinch of hing and turmeric. Add bhinda, stir and cook on a medium flame without covering. Once it's almost cooked, add red chilli powder, dhana-jeeru powder, salt and a bit of sugar to taste. Finish cooking. This recipe transports me right back to that corner house in Kharkar Ali...
