Penne with Chicken in Cream Cheese Sauce

My son declared that he don't like cream cheese and this is one way I found to make him eat some left over cream cheese. Cream cheese, milk and parmesan cheese formed a great sauce for pasta. Fried chicken pieces, red bell pepper and green olives blended in well with the sauce.

Palak Paneer (Indian Cottage Cheese in Spinach Gravy)

 
A delicious paneer dish in spinach gravy popular in North India. Paneer fried in ghee is cooked in a spinach-tomato-cream gravy along with fried onions, green chilli, ginger, garlic and other spices. Spinach and tomatoes are cooked in boiling water (blanched) and then pureed to get the rich, smooth gravy. Finish off the dish with cream and kasuri methi to get the restaurant like taste. Serve with roti, naan or chapathi.

Gajar Ki Sabzi (Carrot Stir-fry with Milk)


This is Andhra style carrot stir-fry modified with a dash of milk. I made the dish really spicy to reduce the sweetness of carrot and the addition of milk did magic to this  delicious stir-fry.

Paneer Butter Masala (Paneer Makhani / Paneer Makhanwala)

 

This is a delicious paneer dish where paneer is cooked in a tomato-butter-cream gravy. I assume paneer butter masala, makhani and makhanwala are all the same dish. The word 'makhan' means butter or cream. Note that butter is made from cream of milk (raw, pasteurized or fermented). Whatever the name is, the dish goes well with any Indian bread. I used store bought low fat paneer this time and it started breaking up while cooking :(

Creamy Tomato Curry

This is a very simple curry which calls for the addition of milk towards the end to make it creamy. It could be served as a side dish with rice or roti. I served it with idli and dosa too.

Shahi Paneer ('Royal' Paneer in Cashewnut gravy)

ON VACATION!!!
In this creamy side dish for chapathi, roti etc., fried paneer is cooked in cashewnut and tomato gravy. Cream or whole milk could be added towards the end for more creaminess. Other paneer dishes like makhanwala, makhani, butter masala, nargisi etc. have somewhat similar ingredients.

Mattar Paneer (Paneer with Peas in Tomato Gravy)


The recipe that I used here is more like that of a restaurant style mattar (peas) paneer, where paneer and peas are cooked in a thick creamy gravy of tomatoes and spices and then flavored with a pinch kasoori methi (dried fenugreek leaves) towards the end. Native to Punjab, mattar paneer is a North Indian delicacy usually served with roti, naan or chapathi. Paneer is a fresh (not aged) Indian cheese made by curdling warm milk with lime juice or other acidic coagulating agents.
