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

Halloween special - Pumpkin soup

Halloween is just around the corner, so I thought it would be a good idea to share my Pumpkin soup recipe. The soup is extremely easy to make, and since I have a soup maker at home, it is also very convenient. You can change quantities of the ingredients based on your liking or based on how much quantities you have available. It will still turn out delicious!  Ingredients: 1 bowl cut pumpkin pieces 3/4th bowl cut carrot pieces 1 medium onion 1 big clove garlic 3-4 black pepper kernels salt to taste 1/4th cup milk (optional) Recipe: 1. If making it in a soup-maker, just add all the ingredients (except the milk) in the soup-maker with water, set the soup style to 'smooth' and your soup is ready in 23 minutes! Then pour in a vessel and bring to boil with the milk. Some like the creamy texture that comes with milk; I don't, my mom does. It's up to you. If you don't want the milk, just pour the ready soup from the soup-maker into your servin
