Veggie Burgers + Fries

These are some nice Trader Joe's masala burgers. You need the usual burger ingredients - buns, onion, cheese (pepper jack or other) tomatoes, lettuce, mayo, pickle, ketchup. The frozen fries you can just bake in a toaster oven.

Toast the burger patties and buns and stack 'em up!

Chicken Tikka Masala

Start with about 1lb chicken. We like the clean breast and you can pick your choice cut. Boil the chicken in water until its cooked.

Now brown the chicken in a pan with some butter - for best taste! Then cut into smaller pieces so the masala can seep in.

Mix the masala in plain yogurt and let it sit for few minutes. Then cook to a boil, add the chicken and let it simmer for 5mins. Serve with roti!

Mutter Panner

Finely chop red onions and tomatoes. Prepare the curry by first cooking the onion with olive oil until brown. Then add the tomatoes and spices - haldi, salt, garam masala and chili.

Cut paneer into cube. You can fry the paneer too (separately) if you wish but you can reduce some oil by just adding in the paneer to the gravy. Add some frozen peas as well. Gently stir for few minutes until the peas are cooked.
