Paneer Tikka Masala

Paneer Tikka Masala

This is again another recipe from the cookbook 660 curries by Raghavendra Iyer. Nothing to say much about this dish as it is not only quite popular among Indians but out of India as well. I have modified the recipe little bit according to my taste bud and made it.Here goes the recipe.

Chicken Korma

Chicken Korma

My father had just recovered from a bad flu and still he is very weak.The report said he has got a low platelets count and doctor has advised him to eat dry fruits.So I was going through the new recipe book of mine 660 curries by Raghavendra Iyer for a chicken recipe with dry fruit and I was stuck at the page - 130
which said Razia Syed's Chicken with an almond yogurt sauce(Murghi Korma).I fell in love with it at the first sight.Normally Mughlai cuisines are famous with lots of cream,butter and rich staffs.This recipe has used simple ingredients with a life saving almonds and still so authentic and tasty.It leaves the gravy super tasty and rich without using any unhealthy ingredients. I made this dish with some changes.As I understood that the measurements and ingredients are mostly as per american standard.So I just indianized it with some changes.Instead of canola oil I have used mustard oil and also I have used normal turmeric and chilly powder to get some color.So here goes the recipe.
Note : After making this dish I understood that this same dish can be made with paneer/potato or cauliflower instead of chicken.So my vegetarian friends can also try this out and let me know the result.

Paneer Makhani

Paneer Makhani

This dish does not need any introduction in India.Any Punjabi/North Indian or Mughlai restaurant would serve this dish.The rich texture is surely not for the heart patients or the people who are in diet.The combination of cheese,butter and cream will surely take you to heaven with every bite of it! So don't think and loose yourself in this buttery creamy gravyMy friends and family love this dish prepared by me.So I am sharing my way of doing this.

Chicken Chaap

Chicken Chaap

I am first introduced with the concept of having biriyani with raita in Bangalore.Back home in Kolkata I just could not imagine biriyani without chicken chaap. It used to be like an indispensable part with Biriyani like bread and butter like biriyani and chicken chaap. All the mughlai restaurants in kolkata like Aminia,Siraj,Nizam,Royal would serve this dish.My personal favorite among them was Royal's chicken chaap.The creamy gravy with rich aroma of the whole spices make this dish truly awesome.This is how I prepare this recipe at home which is quite popular among my family members.

Kadai Paneer

Kadai Paneer

Kadai Paneer is a very favorite dish among Indians.It is very popular.The recipe is quite easy and quick.The taste is also heavenly.My friends and family members love this dish.The aroma of the freshly grounded spices and the creamy texture of paneer and capsicum makes it a delicious one.It goes very well with naan roti(for the recipe of naan roti click here).I am sharing the recipe here.
