Microwave cooking is easy at the same time, time-saving too. This is one of the easy and tasty recipes which I have tried using ricotta cheese. You can use fresh homemade paneer and careful while microwaving. Later after trying this, I thought can cook on stove-top the same recipe so the shelf line will be longer compared to microwave cooking.

Malai koftas/How to make ricotta potato kofta/ step by step pictures/ Deep fried potato cheese balls in indian style

I really loved these all pictures...Even though they looks simple,lightening was perfect in them..Along with that,koftas also perfectly came out..Here in foz,after a long time,iam getting spinach..One day just cooked spinach fry..and then after searching web,attracted by palak kofta gravy recipe ..Though palak gravy is recipe is simple,koftas process is little bit big and tough..If the koftas are perfect then the gravy is simple to make...Instead of making palak gravy you can use them in any gravy. Here first Iam sharing only about how to make koftas..Soon will share spinach kofta gravy recipe too..

Coming to this recipe,If you balance the measurement of potato n paneer along with good amount spices koftas come outs perfectly..Shaping the koftas is very important,other wise,while frying koftas may spread out in oil.Also,keep flame in medium,Because we are using raw paneer,it needs time to cook inside the koftas....I forgotten taking pictures of inside kofta...Actually it`s damn hot in foz..That too in the after noon time the complete sun light is falling in the hall and iam in full of sweat all the days..After cooking and clicking this koftas,I was totally tired...Then within few minutes DH was there in home for lunch..So,I missed to take the pictures of inside part of the koftas..DH had lunch with this gravy and said they are tasty too..With those positive words,was confirmed,that they fried well and felt that the texture was also good...Try it if you lik ethis kind of foods and let me know plz..

THE FIRST PIC IS SPINACH BOILING-NOT RELATED TO THIS RECIPE

THE LAST ONE SPINACH IN MIXY JAR-RELATED TO OTHER RECIPE

MAHAS NOTES

Balancing the paneer n potato quantity is important..Other wise,wile deep frying it may lose the shape.Per 1 big potato 1/2 cup grated paneer is enough..If you increase the quantity of potato or paneer make sure to equal the quanity of another too..

Adjust spices as per your taste.you can omit cumin powder n use cumin seeds.

Also can use home made paneer .You can green chili paste too..

Can use all purpose flour/Maida instead of corn flour.

Chat masala is my personal choice.can skip it.

Mushroom paneer spicy cashew masala/Canned mushroom ricotta cheese gravy/Mushroom recipes for rotis/How to make mushroom paneer curry

Paneer gravy or paneer peas gravy is regular natural dish which people cooks often for rotis as a side dish..But,for a variation I added some mushrooms and used cashews which soaked in milk for 15 minutes..The method of recipe may looks like different with our regualr other gravy dishes.But it wroth trying and it`s a perfect dish for rotis and pulkas.Next time when you have some mushrooms try it with paneer.I used canned mushrooms in this,and you can go with fresh ones but it require time to clean..Spices gives a good taste and bleding onion tomato mix into puree gives such a nice grvay look to the dish.Try this reipe once and hope you like it..Also,if you creative or like experiments try it with almonds instaed of cashews for a change..

Paneeru butter masala is one of the popular dish in indian cuisine..For vegetarians it is very a very comforting which is like a chicken or meat dish..Because of butter this is very rich in taste and of course high in calories.But,the creamy texture gravy and soft paneer cubes attracts you all very much to have it and definitely you can`t stop eating it...Choosing Juicy tomatoes,sauteing onions well is very important in this and don`t compromise on butter quantity..If you are not minded about weight reducing,then pan fry the paneer cubes with little bit spices in oil before going to add them in gravy..Naan,pulkas,rumali rotis or parathas are the best combination for this and also this works outs well in weekend parties..Grinding onion tomato mixture into puree is also important step which may takes some time,but it`s absolutely gives a nice look,like full cream milk in this.you can add some cashews or almonds while grinding onion tomato mixture fro rich taste..So,friends I wish  you all like this version.Try it and let me know..
