A Quick meal for people who are on fasting (Vrat) . It’s a pure Jain recipe so No onion & No garlic used. It can be quickly made and can be served as healthy snacks to the kids who generally don’t like to have lauki ki sabji (Bottle Gourd curry).
Grate lauki(Bottle gourd) and finely chop ginger and green chilies. Dry roast peanut and grind it to a coarse powder. Heat oil in a pan and add cumin seeds and some curry leaves. Add ginger and green chilies to it and then add the grated lauki and sauté it for 2-3 mins then add salt, a little sugar, black pepper powder and some lemon juice to it.

INSTANT PANEER TIKKA MASALA

Many a times kids as well as elders don’t like to have plain paneer(cottage cheese) but since paneer is a high protein food we should always try various variations so that they love to have it either with rotis (Chapattis) or parathas. I tried one Variation using Rasio Magic Paneer Tikka masala.

Chop onions and capsicum in small dices and also make a tomato puree. Heat Oil in a pan and sauté onions and capsicum till it is golden brown. Then add the puree and sauté till it gives off oil and add the instant paneer tikka mix (Rasoi magic) , add a little tobasco sauce to reduce the sweet taste and then add little water to make the gravy. Add paneer to it . Serve hot.
