Paneer Masala Recipe  This is your go-to recipe if you're running low on ingredients and appliances. If you do not have any fancy ingredients or a mixie, then do not worry you can still cook up a fantastic paneer masala! Hope you enjoy this recipe as much as I do. :) Ingredients: Paneer-200g Onions- 2 Tomato- 1 Garlic- 2 pods Ginger- 2-3 inches long Chillies- 1 to 2  Mustard seeds- 1 tsp Chilly powder- 2 tsp (as per taste) Coriander powder- 2 tsp Garam masala- 2 tsp Turmeric- 1-2 tsp Salt - 1 tbsp (as per taste) Recipe: Marinate the paneer with chilly powder, salt, garam masala, turmeric powder and keep it for around 10-15 minutes. In a tawa, put around 1-2 tsp of oil. Once it heats up, drop in the marinated paneer and fry it until golden brown or slightly fried from all sides.

Ladi Pav/Indian Bread Recipe The bread I made didn't turn out all "aesthetic" looking because I used less maida than told in the recipe plus I didn't have a square mould. But let me tell you, looks are deceptive! :D It tasted quite amazing and was super soft like butter bread. So let me tell you an interesting fact to distract you from my bechara looking pav before moving onto the recipe.  Did you know that the Pav was actually brought to Goa for the first time by the Portuguese (when they invaded Goa) and it was actually called "P ão". They had adapted well to all the Goan dishes but one thing they missed very much was their bread. So they taught Indians how to ferment dough and make bread! Eventually, it got its name changed to Pav.  Also, even today, some of the best pav makers in Mumbai are either Goan or Irani!  Interesting, isn't it?  Ingredients needed: Milk 1 cup + 1/4th cup Sugar 2 tsp Yeast 1 packet (7 g) Maida 3 cups (450g) Salt 1/2 tsp Butter
