And of course, we are eating Indian food....we have been celebrating Diwali since Friday, and this year, I made mostly new dishes that we wanted to try....
If you are afraid to cook Indian food, then this is a dish that you should try. Easy, complete one-dish-meal, tasty, fast to make, and full of flavors.
Paneer Pulao
2 Cups Boiled Rice Basmati
100 grams of paneer grated
2 tbsp of ghee or 1 tbsp olive oil + 1 tbsp butter
1/2 tsp Cumin Seeds
3 Garlic cloves
1 piece (2.5 cm) Ginger grated
1 Onion chopped
2 small Tomatos chopped
1/2 tsp Turmeric Powder
1 tsp Coriander freshly grinded
1 tsp Cumin freshly grinded
2 tsp Kashmiri Chilly Powder
2 tbsp green onions chopped
1 1/2 tsp Gram Masala
1/2 Cup yogurt
10 Mint Leaves fresh chopped
10 cilantro leaves chopped
2 tsp salt to Taste
In a big pan, warm the ghee. Add the cumin, garlic, onion, ginger, tomatoes, and green onions. Cook it for 5 minutes. Add all the spices, and cook it for 3 minutes. Add the yogurt, paneer, and cook it for three minutes. Add the mint, cilantro, and salt. Stir it well, and add the boiled rice. Serve it warm. ENJOY!
I don't eat much Indian food except curry here and there. But your rice looks so comforting and delicious that I want to rush to the store and get some ingredients to make this.
ReplyDeleteWhen I still worked the office manager was Indian and brought Diwali sweets to the office. It was pleasant to share, even peripherally, other customs.
