Paneer Makhani or Paneer Butter Masala is one of the best paneer dishes and due to it being mildly spiced it has a global appeal.Below is a tried and tested recipe(acquired from my sister-in-law's sister-in law...)

250gms Paneer
200gms Fresh Cream
200gms Tomato Puree
2-3 tblsp Butter
2tblsp Dried Fenugreek leaves/Kasoori Methi
1/2tsp Red Chilli Powder
1/2tsp Garam Masala Powder
2-3 Green Chillies
Salt as per taste
Method :
Melt the butter in a pan and add slit green chillies,tomato puree(grated fresh tomatoes are the best),kasoori methi,salt,red chilli powder & let it simmer on a low flame for 5-6 mins.Add fresh cream to this mixture alongwith garam masala powder & cook for further 2-3 mins.Add the paneer pieces and cook for a minute.Serve hot,garnished with coriander.

BEDMI PURI (RAJASTHANI RECIPE)
Hi All,
This is my first day at blogging,on a blog related to cooking,which as a matter of fact,is my passion.I simply love cooking for my friends & family.My first recipe today is an easy one from Rajasthan,which is very easy to make and tastes delicious with any curried vegetable,but the best accompaniment is,off course,Dum Aloo.So here goes....
Bedmi Puri
Ingredients :
500 gms Maida/Wheat Flour(tastes equally great with both,I prefer the latter,however)
100gms Moong Dal
1tsp Red Chilli powder(kutti Mirch or coarsely grinded chilli works best)
1tsp Ground Coriander
1tsp Garam Masala
Oil for frying & adding in flour
Salt to taste
Method :
Mix Moong dal,red chilli powder,coriander powder,garam masala & grind it.Make a paste of the ground mixture.Add the ground paste & a bit of oil in the flour & make a dough out of it by adding water as required.Dough should a bit tough,as fit for puris & paranthas.If the dougH is loose(ie.contains excess water) it will absorb more oil.Make small balls out of the dough and roll it out with a rolling pin to make a round puriS.Deep fry in oil till it blows up.
Serve hot with Dum Aloo or any vegetable curry.
