Palak-Paneer sandwiches.. [Food court, City Pride, Kothrud].



[Comes close to: the Palak-Paneer sandwich in the Food Court at City Pride]
[Serves 4]

If you are like most other Indians, you like Spinach and Paneer (Cottage Cheese). And if your kid is like most other kids, he or she’ll probably savor the paneer but throw tantrums around the spinach. Trust sandwiches to ensure everything goes in the tummy! Palak-paneer sandwiches on the menu chart of a food court in City Pride, Kothrud seemed promising. And they did not disappoint. They seemed easy to make and victory followed in just one attempt. So here goes...  

Ingredients:
  1. 1 bunch of spinach - chopped
  2. 1 small onion - chopped
  3. 1 cup paneer – crumbled. Homemade is best.
  4. 10 cloves of garlic – chopped fine.
  5. 1 tbsp olive oil.
  6. 1 tsp black pepper powder.
  7. Salt to taste.
  8.  ½ cup shredded cheese.
  9.  Bread slices or bread rolls (better)
Recipe:
  1. Heat oil in a pan (Non-stick is better so that paneer does not stick)
  2. Add garlic and sauté.
  3. Add chopped spinach and sauté till all the water dries off.
  4. Add paneer, pepper powder and salt. Sauté for few more minutes.
  5. Remove from stove.
  6. Take  a bread slice and spread the palak-paneer mixture on it.
  7. Spread some cheese. Place the second slice on it. 
  8. Grill in a sandwich maker or in a Panini machine if you are using bread rolls.
  9. Serve with tomato ketchup.

Malai sandwich

There are some sweets that look very royal, very fancy; yet when you start making them, you realize how easy they are to make. Malai sandwich is one such. Time and patience, are however, essential here. Malai sandwich is not quick to make, but that's only because it involves a lot of sitting time. Ideally the rasgullas should be made a day in advance so that they have soaked in the syrup and have become sufficiently sweet. Making the malai sandwich is a three step process - 1. making the paneer 2. making the rasgullas 3. making the sandwich The problem in my house is that my kids will want a bite or more after every single step. So by the end of the second step half of it is gone already. In fact there have been times when we have never reached the malai sandwich stage ;)  When you do though, it's worth the wait! So let's get started. Ingredients: For the rasgullas: 2 litre milk (I generally use 1 ltr full cream milk and 1 ltr low fat; all low fat is ok ...

Home made butter/makkhan/loni

If there's one thing that goes best with a paratha  or thalipeeth it would be the white homemade butter. Of course when you live outside India, it becomes impossible to get it or make it (since we normally don't boil the milk or separate the cream and save it to make butter).  But there's a way.  And it's pretty straight forward. All you need is a hand mixer and plenty of strength in your arms (as it can take a while). Ingredients: As far as ingredients go, you need just one and that's Whipping cream. I bought a 1 L whipping cream tetra pack. Recipe: As far the recipe goes, again there's just one thing to do. churn, churn and churn. It may be easier if you have a standing automatic churner. I didn't so I had to hold on to the hand mixer and keep churning for about 40 mins.. Here is a picture of how it looks at each step and a little description explaining how it should feel like. 1. The whipping cream is milky. Keep churning. 2. Soft peak...
