Imagine I am still shocked at how I managed seven day BM, all of them being done on the previous day and clicked and shared the same day. Guess we humans are funny creatures!
Very blurred but couldn't miss this step!
Paneer Achari
Ingredients Needed
Paneer - 1/2 kg
Oil - 2 tps
Fennel seeds - 1 tsp
Black mustard seeds - 1/2 tsp
Fenugreek seeds 1/4 tsp
Nigella seeds 1 tsp
Cumin seeds 1 tsp
Ground onions 4 nos
Chopped green chillies 8 nos
Turmeric a pinch
Ginger Garlic paste 1 tsp
Whipped Curd - 1/2 cup
Dry mango powder 1 tsp
Kashmiri mirch 2 tsp / Or regular Chili powder - 1 tsp
Sugar - 1 tsp ( I didn't add)
How to make Paneer Achari
Heat the oil and fry the fennel, fenugreek, nigella and cumin seeds.
After few seconds, add onions and green chillies. Stir and fry until golden in colour.
Add turmeric powder, garlic and ginger pastes. Fry for a minute.
Pour in the yoghurt, dry mango powder, chilli powder, sugar and salt.
Cook until oil separates.
Add paneer with about 150 ml water. Allow it to heat through. Season and serve.
Notes:
In the hurry, I forgot to grind the onions as we have power cuts. So I chopped it very fine and add.
The reception was very excepted and pleasing. Parents loved it so much. If you are not used to eating kalonji you might need a while to get used to it.

Yeah, count me in too. My life is less stressful with no job related worries and just one kid, but yet I feel stressed out at times.
Rajani S says
A day that ends well is a happy day for me. But it's also true that my stress level is less ( no job related worries and just one kid). I talk to my son when we are lying down to sleep and that I think is the best part of the day.
Even superwoman needs a break now and then 🙂

I agree with you on all points. You are not alone here, Valli.. You do have company..With 2 kids around nothing goes as planned, always there are surprises, responsibilities chores and other things that had to be taken care of, so blogging regularly is not that easy.
Coming to today's recipe- I have never tasted this dish before.. But am sure this must be so delicious and flavorful..
Pavani says
Agree to everything you said Valli. I was just telling my cousin that 24 hrs are not enough for all the things we want/ have to do during a day. I just resigned and even with no work I still can't keep up with the kids and house work, so can imagine how it is for u with full time job and 3 active kids.
Achari paneer sounds delicious. Love the addition of the spices.

Absolutely true Srivalli. The stress and strain of life takes its toll once in a while but we sure come bouncing back.I really find it difficult to manage given my family situation yet I signed up for NaBloPoMo this month.We sure are funny creatures!!
And the achari paneer is a delicious one...
