Paneer Butter Masala

"Banana Kofta is a delicious and wholesome Indian dish made with raw bananas (plantains), mashed and mixed with spices, herbs, and sometimes paneer or potatoes to form soft, flavorful dumplings. These koftas are lightly fried until golden and then simmered in a rich, aromatic tomato-onion or yogurt-based curry. The raw banana lends a mildly sweet, starchy taste and a unique texture to the koftas, making this dish a delightful alternative to the more common vegetable or paneer koftas. The gravy is seasoned with traditional spices like cumin, coriander, turmeric, and garam masala, and can be made creamy or light, depending on regional style. Banana Kofta is a nutritious and satisfying vegetarian option, often enjoyed with chapati, naan, or jeera rice. It’s a perfect choice for festive meals or when you want something comforting and special with a twist of South Indian or North Indian flavor."

"Indian Yellow Dal Tadka is a classic and soul-satisfying lentil dish made from yellow lentils — typically moong dal, toor dal, or a blend — cooked until soft and then infused with a fragrant tempering of spices. This comforting curry is a staple in Indian households and known for its simplicity, warmth, and bold flavor. The dal is gently spiced and simmered with turmeric, salt, and a touch of ghee or oil. The star of the dish is the tadka (tempering) — a sizzling blend of cumin seeds, garlic, onions, dried red chilies, and sometimes tomatoes, added just before serving to infuse the dal with a rich, smoky aroma and deep flavor. Served hot with steamed basmati rice, jeera rice, or Indian breads like roti or paratha, Yellow Dal Tadka is both nutritious and delicious — a perfect balance of comfort and flavor, ideal for everyday meals or festive thalis."

"Aloo Gobi is a classic North Indian vegetarian dish made with tender potatoes (aloo) and cauliflower (gobi) cooked in a fragrant blend of spices. This comforting dry sabzi (semi-dry curry) is flavored with turmeric, cumin, ginger, garlic, and garam masala, giving it a rich golden hue and irresistible aroma. The vegetables are sautéed until perfectly tender, allowing them to absorb the bold flavors of the masala while retaining a delightful texture. Often garnished with fresh coriander and a squeeze of lemon juice, Aloo Gobi is both hearty and healthy — a staple in Indian households. Best enjoyed with hot chapatis, parathas, or a side of dal and rice, this humble yet flavorful dish is a must-have in everyday Indian meals."
