Paneer Tikka - Starter ( Made on tawa)

Paneer Tikka is the most loved Veg Starter...

I was always upset because they usually say it can be made only in a oven. I wanted to make it on a tawa or a non-stick pan.

I know it is not compulsory to have an oven in everyone's house, as we don't use it daily...

So this is a recipe which can be made on a tawa or a non-stick stick pan..

I have added besan /Gram Flour only to hold the mixture together.

Aloo Matar/ Potato with Green peas Masala

Yet another easy and rich gravy for chapati..
It is normally made without cream on usual days , but when there are guests at home you need to make something special from the usual ones..
So there is a twist of using fresh Amul cream ...
I have made both versions at home and the result was just wow...

Khichdi for kids

The most difficult job in this world is feeding your baby . Every mother would be happy only when their babies are fed with good and healthy food . It's important that kids enjoy the food they eat .
This Khichdi is healthy, light and quick to make when your kids are really hungry.
You can add vegetables also to this Khichdi.
Just a extra spoon of Ghee would do wonders.
Avoid using green chilli for babies below 1 year.
It would taste good without chilli too.
Make it in a semi- solid consistency so that it would be easy for them to have and enjoy their meal.
