Another simple recipe for weight loss ....

The word Falafel means fritters itself or sandwich filled with it.
Falafel is common not only in Middle East,but also in Greece,Iraq,Egypt,Sudan,Yemen etc.
You can make it very easily and can serve with Pita bread and Hummus, along with any vegetables.

This snack is made with Chick peas, so it’s really low in fat and high in Protein and fiber.
Chick pea contains no Cholesterol.
Key nutrients are Calcium, Iron, Magnesium, Phosphorus, Potassium, Zinc, Copper, Manganese, Vitamin C, Thiamine, Pantothenic acid, Vitamin B and Folate.

Falafel is often recommended for use in weight control programs.
Here ,I have given the full dinner/Breakfast combo recipe.

Paneer Butter Masala


Paneer in Hindi means Cottage Cheese.
 “Paneer Butter Masala”is rich and creamy. You can serve it in Kids Party, since it’s mild and a bit sweet if you are following my recipe.
You can also make it spicy, the choice is yours.
This recipe is almost similar to Butter chicken in taste.
This recipe, is again, very simple since, I like to cook very fast and simple, I had to find out a short cut for this.
Try this out; it tastes the same as the one we get from restaurants.
Ingredients
Cottage cheese or Paneer – Cut into cubes-250 g
Cashew nuts-25g
Onion-2 medium
Tomato-2 medium
Green chilly-1no
Ginger-Garlic paste-1tsp
Cumin powder-1tsp
Kasuri methi or dry fenugreek leaves-bountiful
This flavor should be more in the curry.
Milk-1/2 cup
(I wanted to avoid extra calories to the dish; If You like, you can replace milk with cream to get richer and tastier royal dish)
Salt
Red chilly powder/Paprika-2tsp
Coriander powder-1tsp
Turmeric powder-1/2 tsp
Sugar-1tsp
Butter-20g
Preparation
Step1
Grind raw onion in a blender along with a green chilly to a smooth paste.
Now grind Tomato to smooth paste.
No need to blanch the tomatoes. As I already said, we are cooking in a hurry, you know...Don’t worry there is no compromise in the taste, I can tell you.
Step2
Melt Butter and fry the cashews. Keep aside.
Now lightly fry Paneer in the same butter and remove from the pan.
To the same butter add ginger garlic paste. Sauté for 2 minutes. Now add in onion paste and 1 tsp salt.
Let it fry in butter for a minute. Now add tomato paste and again fry this for a minute. Add in
Red chilly powder, coriander powder ,cumin powder and turmeric powder.
Now add 1 tsp sugar .Now add some kasuri methi leaves. These are dry Fenugreek leaves which are easily available in the market.
Now on medium high flame, keep the mix for 2-3 minutes. Oil (Butter) would start separating from it.
Now add ½ cup water and ½ cup milk.
Let it boil and then add Paneer cubes.
When the sauce thickens, add in Kasuri methi and bring to boil once more.
Serve hot with any kind of bread.
