Tilla paneer doesn't have the right texture either really. But each to their own.

I’m going to try making paneer again, haven’t done it in years, but that’s the best stuff you can do yourself if you got time.

Curly kale works well too but it's a mission to cut and if you buy the one which is already cut has too many stems.

Not a kale fan, although the kale mix smoothies suppose to be good.

Love karhi. I had it at the Gurdwara once and it had whole peppercorns in it, amazing addition. Any tips for making the perfect one?

Yep you can’t beat karhi, another simple to cook dish.

Good for health. I used to make a green smoothie with:

  • Spinach
  • Carrots
  • Coriander
  • Parsley
  • Mint
  • Watercress
  • Apple
  • Yoghurt
  • Coconut Oil
  • Lemon Juice
  • Pinch of Salt

Followed by a spoon of Chyawanprash with a bit of milk, jeera and taniya powder with warm water. And a capusle of Lycopene and Ashwagandha!

Never felt better!

Na, ? just went off it few years ago. 

@MrDoaba, tu chef a? ?‍? 

 

You can get sick and tired of it. Pher try kar lai kisse din.

Errmm I probably was in a past life lol. Nah I just like cooking. I learnt it all off my dear bibi and mummy. I find it fascinating, especially the health aspect.

Try making haalon di kheer one day. Good for aches! Aquired taste though.

Yes. Deleted paneer video, as some people may get offended, and then I’ll get told off ? .

Good skill you’ve acquired there and you can make it to your requirements.

Haalon da kheer ki a? 

I don’t think I could do all those ingredients in your smoothie.

Just regular kheer but with haalon. Cress seeds I believe. You would have seen em in desi shop.

Yeah true. For sabji it is wayyyy to salty. The texture is ok-ish but too dense and heavy, not to mention it's a panga just to fry it!! I will try the turka thing as suggested.

Yeah man, those are the one! Cavolo nero is good, adds that pepperiness. It works if you can't get your hands on sarson. Curly kale works well too but it's a mission to cut and if you buy the one which is already cut has too many stems. No matter how much you blend it, it still stays stringy. Best to mix em. Want to try using some other greens but supermarkets rarely have them. Any experience with using different types?

And I agree with sundired tamatar. Some folks add way too much tamatar generally and it's overpowering. I'm not a fan of khatta personally.

Love karhi. I had it at the Gurdwara once and it had whole peppercorns in it, amazing addition. Any tips for making the perfect one?

if you follow the punjabi kardi recipe on vahreh vah you get good method  and seasoning ... I go with whole black peppercorns , chilli flakes(not powder), jeera, half teaspoon methi seeds, mustard seeds, ginger ground from fresh , a tiny bit garlic, onion paste , green chillis is the point is pepperiness in layers .

dry spices ground coriander , haldi, garam masala then one tomato chopped finely , a little water then when cooked sieve yoghurt besan batter mix with additional water into that .

I tend to use small potato slices (par boiled in salty water whilst tardka is being done , then drained) rather than pakorey (usually spicy palak and onion) as I tend to keep healthy as far as I can because kids and hubby have major makan habit .

I have used swiss chard , rainbow chard , pak choi , bok choi, savoy cabbage ....point is saag is greens of any type ...

By saag do you mean spinach leaves? 

Neither do we, it’s overdone then. 

Palak paneer on its own is a good dish. Tamattar ?? Not tried that one yet. 

whichever greens you chose ... i tend to use frozen chopped spinach from sainsburys but add mustardseed to tardka to enhance the flavour quick and simple ...but have used all different greens including broccoli when I had a glut ...it all works point is it shouldn't take more then half an hour to make saag , greens cook down really fast

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
