Methi Malai Paneer
This one is for mom. While growing up paneer based dishes used to be a staple in our house and I cannot even remember how many different kinds my mom, grandmother and my aunts could make!

Quick Curry with Rice
Nov 12th
Cooking Indian curries take a long time. On weekdays it just seems impossible to spend an hour to whip up a nice curry for the little one. This is my quick version of the popular Indian ‘Butter Chicken Curry’. I use pasta sauce as a base. The pasta sauce is precooked-onions,tomatoes,garlic,etc. So saves time for preparing the base. Far far from the traditional recipe !
2 cups pasta sauce (I use First Street Mushroom as it has a mild flavor)1/2 cup cream1 cup milk2-3 tsp taco seasoning /Indian spices such as powdered cumin, clove, cinnamon, coriander1/2 cup Chicken More >
