Cooking with Angel

Today we made:
Butter Chicken, Saag Paneer and Gulab Jamun... the house smells soooo gooood!

Butter Chicken



The smell of this puree was unbelievable!! We cooked it on the stove, added turmeric and yogurt and it eventually turned the yellow/orangy color of Butter Chicken that we're all used to. Surprisingly, there is very little Ghee in Butter Chicken - Angel said it's the yogurt that gives it that name.

Saag Paneer


The cooked mixture is pureed before adding the paneer


And finally Gulab Jamun

The recipe in Kannada with a few English measurements

We crumbled a milk product called Khova - it's like a sweet paneer

And added Rose Water (Gulab = Rose) then kneaded it into a soft dough

I did the rolling, like my Mahendi?

Simple sugar syrup, thickened

Hot Gulab Jamun go straight from the oil into the sugar syrup

Can't wait for dinner!!
