Panner Rice

This special dish was prepared by my daughter's friend Limi for a dinner. I loved the taste, got recipe and picture from her.
Basmati rice 3 cups, cooked in 6 six cups of water and salt to taste. Spread it with a fork to cool down.
Paneer 2lb., grated, garlic cloves 10, shallots 12, both chopped, frozen carrot and green peas 1lb., chopped cilantro 3 tbsp., chilli powder 1/2 tsp., ghee 2 tbsp.
Heat ghee in a shallow wok, drop in shallots and garlic, sauté till aroma spreads out, add chilli powder, frozen veggies and paneer, combine well, allow to cook in low flame, add salt to taste. Add cooked rice combine well along with chopped cilantro. Transfer into a serving bowl. Serve hot. Excellent with mango pickle and papadum.

Simple chicken fry for kids

Chicken wings 11 pieces. Ginger and garlic paste 1 tsp. each. Salt to taste, lemon juice 2 tbsp. Marinate the wings and keep for 2 hours. Curry leaves 3 sprigs. Coconut oil 3 tbsp. Heat oil in a shallow pan, drop in half curry leaves, allow to splutter. Add chicken wings. Allow to brown each side. Turn it frequently till the pieces are golden brown. Add the rest of the curry leaves, sprinkle a little salt, combine well, allow the leaves to become crispy. Place the chicken on kitchen tissue to get the excess oil absorbed. This yummy chicken fry along with the crispy curry leaves will be loved by not only kids but also by all others. That's my experience.
