kugan,

i can understand ur position, u have to plan three separate menus for a day. that is too difficult,coz u have to cook for too many people.if they enjoy ur food, then u can try different dishes.

Me too the same thing. my kids also need different menu each time. i try all new dishes when i have guest at home.

Selvi, I have had tofu + panner butter masala in a restaurant ... it did taste yummy...so u can try without any fear.... also the tofu & paneer were not fried... firm tofu added to gravy as such...

I'm not sure how u make the butter masala... I prepare it adding low fat evaporated milk in place of cream & it tastes yum...Same goes in for my kadahi dishes...

I'll post the chicken recipe soon...

Kashmiri chicken:

Mix in kashmiri red chilly pwd, salt, turmeric pwd, gin-gar paste,lil curd & tomato puree to chicken with bones. transfer it to a pan & add haalf a tsp oil & cook timm 90% done.

In another wide pan add a tsp oil. add curry leaves & slit green chillies & then the chicken pieces only. Discard the gravy if any(u can add it to ur soup). cook till dry on a low to medium flame. you can sprinkle a tsp of corn flour towards the end which is purely optional. If u do add, cook till the aw smell of flour disappears.
This dish is supposed to taste like chicken 65. It is years since I prepared it. So i don't remember the exact taste.

dev,
thanks a lot, def i will try ur chicken dish. also as u said, i will try paneer and tofu together.

my butter masala , i will boil onion and grind it to a paste. olive margarine i use instead of oil, for cream, i used 3% fat content cream.

next time let me try with low fat evaporated milk.
