Topsy Paneer

Introduction:  1st of all the name ‘Topsy’ came from ‘To’mato and Cap‘si’cum. Sounds kinda weird ha? Actually the recipe is based on these two ingredients, as I tried to blend the taste of capsicum and tomato with butter. This will sound interesting but it will taste more, so let’s get to the business.

Ingredients: 
Paneer (Cottage Cheese) 500gm
Butter 100gm
Capsicum 2 Large (Chopped)
Ginger 1 teaspoon (Chopped thin)
Tomato 2 Large (Chopped)
Red Chilli Powder 1 teaspoon
Turmeric Powder ½ teaspoon
Pepper 2 tablespoon
Cornflour 4tablespoon
Salt to taste


Method:
1. Chop tomato, capsicum finely. Keep capsicum seeds aside.
2. Heat half of the butter in a pan and fry the paneer till golden brown.
3. Keep paneer aside; pour the remaining butter in the oil and fry tomato, capsicum and ginger.
4. Add red chilli powder, turmeric powder, pepper, salt one by one, stir continuously.
5. Now when everything is added, add some water (2 tablespoon approx at a time) and stir till the water turns gravy.
6.  Repeat the 5th step until it turns into a light gravy (not too much light).
7. Now add paneer into the gravy and add capsicum seeds in it and stir in high flame.
8. Add water again and stir, when the gravy is mixed up with everything add cornflour (mixed with water and salt) and stir till it turns thick gravy.
9. Garnish it with a pinch of pepper and a slice of butter; serve hot with Roti (bread) or Rice. Voila!

Micro-Chick

Introduction:  This is a pretty easy recipe cooked on microwave and can only be cooked in it. As I say, “The name should be as tasty as your recipe”. As you can see am having an “introduction” section for recipes, well I will be giving all of you some cooking advice in each recipes.
Ingredients: 
Chicken 1kg (into small pieces)
Onion 250gm (chopped thinly) 
Tomato 2 medium (chopped thinly)
Ginger 1 tablespoon (paste)
Garlic 2 ½ tablespoon (paste)
Garam Masala 4 tablespoon
Red Chilli Powder 3 teaspoon
Turmeric Powder 1 teaspoon
Kashmiri Red Chilli Powder 2 tablespoon
Curd 100gm
Edible Oil 5 tablespoon (No OLIVE OIL)
Pepper 1 tablespoon
Micro-Chick
Salt to taste
Method:
1. Firstly wash chicken and pour curd, all the powders (half quantity), peppers, 1 tablespoon oil and salt, then mix it. Marinate it for 1 hour.
2. Now preheat the oven. 
3. Take a large bowl and heat oil for 1 minute in Micro-High mode.
4. Now add chopped tomato, onion and ginger-garlic paste, and microwave it for 5 minute in high power. After 2 minutes take out the bowl, stir a bit and put it inside.
5. Now add the remaining powders, marinated chicken into it and mix it well.
6. Now pour the remaining oil and mix it, then put it in microwave for 16 minutes in 3 steps i.e. 1) first 6 minutes in high power, 2) next 5 minutes for 80% power, 3) last 5 minutes 60% power.
7. Take the bowl out every step and stir it well.
8. Garnish it will fresh lime and table salt, serve this unique cuisine with hot parantha (bread) or butter nun.
Tip: I would prefer it with parantha or nun only. This will not taste good with rice. In the 6th step, the 3 step cooking should be done neatly, otherwise there will be nothing but burnt chicken. So don’t make it burnt-chick, make it Micro-Chick.
