#cranbeery #green chili#Tangy Cranberry Mirch A quick, flavorful side dish inspired by the traditional Indian karonda mirch. Fresh cranberries are cooked with green chilies and aromatic spices to create a delicious balance of tangy, spicy, and savory flavors. Enjoy it with chapati, naan, or as a side with any Indian meal. Ingredients ● ½ cup fresh cranberries, washed ● ⅓ cup green chilies, finely chopped ● Salt, to taste ● 1 teaspoon coriander powder ● ½ teaspoon turmeric powder ● 1–2 teaspoons oil Instructions 1. Heat the oil in a pan over low heat. 2. Add the cranberries and chopped green chilies. Stir gently for a few seconds. 3. Add the coriander powder, turmeric powder, and salt. Mix well. 4. Cover and cook for about 30 seconds. 5. Stir once, turn off the heat, and let the pan remain covered for 2–3 minutes. The cranberries will soften while keeping some of their texture. 6. Serve warm with chapati, naan, or your favorite Indian meal. Optional ● For extra heat, add more green chilies. ● For a sweet-and-spicy version, stir in 2 teaspoons of sugar just before turning off the heat. Health Tip Cranberries are rich in antioxidants and may help support urinary tract health. While they are not a treatment for infections, they make a nutritious and flavorful addition to your diet.

#paanicecream🍧 #This refreshing paan ice cream is great to beat the heat this summer (or to enjoy in any other weather too!). This ice cream has all the flavors of meetha paan and is sure to be your new favorite. It’s easy to make too - sometimes the best recipe starts with a short cut, and here I started with vanilla ice cream. It is a super yummy recipe! Serves: 5 Ingredients 1 liter vanilla ice cream 8 - 10 paan leaves - finely chopped or make puree 4 tbsp gulkand (rose petal jam) 2 tbsp fennel seed (crushed) 2 tsp mishri (sugarcandy) 3 dates - chopped 8 mint leaves (for garnish, optional) ⅛ tsp mint extract Few drops green food coloring Coconut for garnish Method First, take the vanilla ice cream and leave for about 5 minutes or until it is a little soft. Take a big bowl and mix the ice cream with a spatula. Add paan leaves, mishri, chopped dates, and mint extract. Mix and add green color. Make sure to mix well. Pour into ice cream cups or any box. Put in the freezer overnight. Garnish with paan chutney, coconut, mint leaves, and fennel seeds. Note: If you’d prefer it to be less sweet or don’t have vanilla ice cream, use a pint (small carton) of heavy whipping cream instead of vanilla ice cream. Make puree from the paan and milk mixed together instead of chopping. Need more recipes? See my cookbook: https://www.amazon.com/Muditas-Kitchen-Delectable-Vegetarian-Recipes/dp/154073522

#butternaan😋 Naan, flatbread and a must eat at an Indian restaurant is traditionally baked inside blazing-hot clay ovens (Tandoor). I am presenting a homemade version that is actually quite easy to make on a hot skillet and stove top and is fluffy, crispy outside/ soft inside and very tasty Ingredients Make 10 naan medium size 3 cups +1/2 cups All purpose flour Packet (8 gm)/ 2 ¼ tsp dry yeast 3/4 cup water lukewarm 1/2 cup plain yogurt (dahi) room temperature 1 teaspoon sugar 1 teaspoon salt (or to taste) 3 tablespoon melted butter and more for naan on top 4 tablespoons kalonji (optional) Method In a bowl, mix lukewarm water and sugar. Sprinkle the yeast on top.Keep aside and let it rise for about 10 minutes till it is bubbly. Mix 3 cups of flour, salt, plain yogurt and melted butter in a big wide bowl. Add the yeast mixture. Mix and knead well to form a soft dough. Add water as required. Keep adding more flour if you find the dough too sticky or add additional water if the dough is hard. Knead for about 8-10 minutes till it is soft and non sticky Put the dough in an oiled bowl and cover with a wet towel or cling wrap and place in a warm place. Let the dough rise till it is double in volume (About two hours). Once the dough has doubled, remove the towel/ cling and punch the dough down. Divide the dough into ten equal pieces. Take each piece and form a ball. Flatten and roll into round flat bread shape (About 5 mm thick) Sprinkle a bit of the kalonji on top of each naan and roll it in the dough. Place the naan on a hot tawa/griddle. When they start to bubble, and the edges turn slightly brown, flip it and cook on the other side. Roast both sides on a flame (alternately, you can put it in toaster till it is slightly crispy) Spread butter on the top and serve hot with Matar (Dry peas) curry or Chole (Chickpeas/ Garbanzo beans curry)or any curry. Note: you can store it for about 1 week in the fridge. Whenever you need, roast it in the toaster and serve.
