One night, on returning from work, Anup returned with groceries (though I clearly remembered I didn't ask for anything we needed) and announced that he decided to make us dinner. Of course we weren't told what it was until he wanted to know where I had stowed away some of the ground spices.
You need:
The Make:
Serves 4 adults | Preparation Time: 10 minutes | Cooking Time: 20-25 minutes
1. Heat the oil a non-stick, deep-bottomed skillet. Add the cumin seeds and allow to lightly brown.
2. Saute the onions and when translucent, add the ginger-garlic paste.Allow to cook for a minute.
3. Next add in the green chilis and saute for half a minute.
4. Next, stir in the tomatoes and spices. Cover and cook for a minute.
5. Add the cottage cheese cubes and saute well, making sure not to break the cheese.
6. Next add in the cooked peas and cover for about 5 minutes.
7. Add the salt and top with coriander leaves.
8. Serve hot with roti, naan, chapati or any other flatbread
Needless to stay we were pampered that night with a delicious dinner enjoyed both by our toddler and me. Special note to Bachelors: This is a very easy make and a must try! Bon Appetit!
