🍳 The Recipes

1. The Ultimate Creamy Garlic-Chilli Sauce (Must Try!)

Step 1: Soak the cashews in warm water for about 5 minutes to soften them up.

Step 2: In a blender jar, combine the soaked cashews, garlic cloves, paneer cubes, curd, salt, and a generous shake of Italian seasoning.

Step 3: Pour in 1 spoonful of chilli oil and blend everything together until it forms a smooth, rich, velvety sauce.

2. The High-Protein Macro Bowl

Step 1: Cut a thick slab of paneer, score the top in a cross-cut pattern, coat it with your favorite spices (like Kashmiri chilli and chaat masala), and sear it on a high flame for 2 minutes until beautifully charred.

Step 2: Press your cooked fried rice into a small bowl and invert it into the center of your serving bowl to make a perfect dome.

Step 3: Arrange your boiled rajma, fresh chopped tomatoes, sliced onions, and lightly sauteed capsicum in neat sections around the rice.

Step 4: Top the rice dome with your seared paneer slab, drizzle that incredible garlic chilli sauce all over, and dig in🤤🔥
