Paneer Recipe of Kadai

Thu, 10 Jul 2008 00:00:00 -0400

Ingredients * 6 cups whole milk (can use 2% milk also) * ¼ cup freshly squeezed lime or lemon juice * ¼ cup water METHOD: In a large heavy bottomed saucepan on medium high heat, add the water and milk and bring to a gentle boil. Add the lime or lemon juice and reduce the heat to medium low. Bring to boil and stir until the milk separates and curdles. Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow to cool. Line a colander with a very fine cheesecloth or muslin in 3 layers. Place this in a larger bowl and drain the curdled milk/cheese mixture. Using the ends of the cheesecloth, twist into a tight ball to remove any excess whey (or liquid). Then using the ends of the cheesecloth, tie the remaining cheese into a very tight bundle and squeeze or wring out any excess liquid. Then hang the tied cheesecloth over a bowl to drain for at least 2-3 hours. The liquid (or whey) can be reserved and actually used in curries and also in making deliciously soft chapathis, phulkas or rotis. **End Summary** Topics: Paneer Recipe of Kadai]]> nyc restaurants]]> Chinese food delivery nyc]]> health vegetable food]]> Indian recipes]]> Indian restaurant]]> Chinese food chicken foo]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Representing Paneer Recipe of Kadai in the website http://www.indomunch.com/

Crunchy Okra Family Food

Fri, 04 Jul 2008 00:00:00 -0400

Okra is a good source of both soluble and insoluble fiber, as well as vitamin B6 and folic acid. Admittedly, frying it is not for the health-conscious, but at least the good stuff is still there. So, okra is grown mainly in very warm climates and was probably brought to America from Africa three hundred years ago. It looks like a small, ridged pepper, but has a soft, almost fuzzy exterior rather than smooth like a pepper. The flavor is very mild. The thing about okra that usually turns people off is that when you slice it, the insides release this slippery, slimey substance. This actually makes it good to add to soups and gumbos, because it helps thicken the broth. Okra is also used in salads and relishes with corn, eggplant, pickles, etc. You can even pickle okra whole, just like small peppers and cucumbers. The way I like okra - and many other people - is breaded and fried. It is crispy and crunchy and makes a great side dish for your grilled burgers. Besides the okra, you don’t need much other than some cornmeal and shortening to make fried okra. **End Summary** Topics: Crunchy Okra Famly Food]]> Crunchy Okra]]> Famly Food]]> Restaurant food]]> nyc restaurants]]> Chinese food delivery nyc]]> health vegetable food]]> Indian recipes]]> ]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Representing Crunchy Okra in the website http://www.indomunch.com/
