Red Cabbage with Red Wine

#sarsokasaag#indianfood #recipe #Mustard saag #recipeon👇🏾 This dish is very popular in Punjab. It’s a gravy-like curry that is made from mustard leaves; basically, it’s palak paneer without the paneer and in place of spinach, mustard leaves are used. I really like the thick texture. Try this out, it tastes amazing! Serves 6 to 8 Ingredients 2 bunches of mustard leaves 1 bunch of spinach 5-6 green chillies - finely chopped 2 tbsp ginger - finely chopped 2 tbsp dry fenugreek/methi leaves 2 tbsp corn flour Oil or butter or both (to your taste) Salt to taste 2 tsp red chilly powder 2 tsp coriander powder Method First, wash the mustard and spinach leaves and put them in the cooker along with the green chilly, ginger, and salt. Now, add 2 cups of water in the cooker and wait until you hear 4 to 5 whistles. Then, leave the cooker to cool for about 3 to 5 minutes. Remove the water from the cooker and set it aside. Take a whisk and make a paste out of what’s left; it shouldn’t be fine, so I would suggest using a food processor if you have one rather than a whisk. Now, add the water back to the paste. Put the pan on the stove at moderate heat. Add the red chilly powder and coriander powder. Stir, then add corn flour. Make a paste out of the flour and water, and then add it to the mixture; otherwise, there will be lumps of flour. Heat for about 15 to 20 minutes or more if necessary. Finally, add dry fenugreek leaves and butter. Serve with makki ki roti or naan!

#This laddu recipe is amazing! Everything is made from scratch, including the khoya (but feel free to buy it to save time). It’s a very simple recipe, but incredibly tasty and delicious. And, sesame seeds are especially good for the winter#mudita’skitchen#laddu #sesmekoyaladdu#recipeon👇 Ingredients: Make 10 laddu, golf ball size For khoya 1 cup heavy whipping cream 1 ¼ cup whole dry milk 2 tbsp ghee For laddu 1 cup sesame seeds white + 2 tbsp more for garnish ½ tsp cardamom powder ½ tsp rose water For garnish - few flakes of saffron (optional) Method For laddu Start a pan on slow heat and roast sesame seeds for about 2 minutes. Grind the seeds for about 1 minute, we need just them coarse, not powder. Keep aside. For khoya Start a fry pan on slow heat and add everything - whipped cream, milk powder, and ghee. Mix for about 2 minutes or until a dough is formed, and the khoya is ready. Add the sesame seeds, cardamom powder, and rose water to the mawa mixture and mix very well for a minute. When the mixture is slightly cooled but still warm, make uniform balls. Take a plate and add sesame seeds, then roll every laddu in it. Enjoy! Garnish with saffron. Note: If you buy khoya, first roast the khoya and then add the sesame seeds. You can also make khoya before and keep in the fridge for a week.

#Kichariparatha #paratha#dallcawal#indianfood This recipe is great to make if you have leftover dal chawal or kichri! This is for slightly spicy parathas, but you can change the amounts as you like#recipeon👇🏾 #mudita’skitchen. Ingredients 1 cup khichdi or daal chawal (rice and toor dal) 2 cups whole wheat flour 2 tsp red chilli powder or to taste 1 tsp salt 1 green chilli - finely chopped 1/2 cup oil Method Take everything except for the oil and mix it to make a dough. Take the dough and divide it into equal sized pieces that are a little bigger than a golf ball. Take a flat pan and put on the gas at slow heat. After that, take one piece of dough and press it between your hands or use a rolling pin to make a flat disc with a diameter of 4 inches. Spread ¼ tsp of oil on it. Then, pick up the sides of the piece of dough and pull them together at the top. Then, roll out the dough to the size of a medium tortilla, or with a diameter of around 6-7 inches. Now, take the flat pan and start it at medium heat. A paratha is cooked in a similar way to a tortilla. Spread ½ tsp of oil on the pan, and then put the paratha in the pan. Cook the paratha so that it is golden brown on both sides. Your paratha is ready! Serve with pickle and tea.
