I love a good paneer tikka, and there are so many ways you can make this gorgeous starter. A paneer tikka recipe doesn't necessarily need to involve loads of cream and fat. And it doesn't have to be drowning in spice either. The most delicious paneer tikka recipes allow you taste the paneer and accentuate its flavour with just a few things from your spice rack. I shared my hariyali paneer tikka recipe a few weeks ago, and here is another one of my favourites.
What better way to celebrate my Gran's 80th birthday than to get away for an extended weekend break to a boutique resort in the Himalayas? Shaheen Bagh on Mussoorie Road proved a delight for the soul, and for the taste buds.
The Bayleaf Chennai in Gopalapuram is a Mughlai and Bengali restaurant. I was a little surprised and intrigued by this combination of cuisines. I wonder if it started off as a Bengali speciality restaurant and didn't find a large enough clientele and therefore expanded to incorporate Mughlai too? Or if it actually began as a kathi roll stop and then expanded to include other food from Kolkata? I'm tempted to believe the latter, if the exciting roll menu and very positive reviews of it are anything to go by.
We decided to dine in, this time around, and save those famous paratha rolls filled with spicy stuffings for another day.
A very quick and easy recipe, this chicken curry was ready in about 25 minutes. I made this in a pressure cooker, but you can do this in a normal covered pan too - it'll just take a little longer
