Cottage cheese vegetable Chili


Any of my friends & family familiar with this dish? Why I am asking so because I came to know such a dish exists in such a name very recently; exactly 1 week ago. They are called CHILIS 😱


I was thinking very high of myself that I would be knowing the world cuisines at least by their name, but no I have way to go!
So chilia per the youtuber is a comfort food for the fall time, when weather gets colder. So it’s not fall in Bangalore but atleast the weather is getting colder here too which made me decide to make my first chili during this time. Of course what else is comforting on these cold days than a bowl of heart warming spicy curry soup 🍲 
So chilly resembles a Indian curry marries with a soup. It’s so versatile that you can make spicy red colored ones or white ones which gets the hotness from pepper or green chillies.

A classic chili masala has paprika powder, cumin , turmeric as common: but I made my chili a little Indianish by adding coriander powder, pepper crushed and Kashmiri chili powder.
This is a vegetarian version replacing ground meat with paneer cubes, mixed beans of broad beans and red kidney beans and lot of veggies. Usually chili’s would end up with an addition of greens 🥬. I used Bok Choy, a typical Chinese cabbage as my chili green. 
For the sauce I used Worstershire and added some red pickled paprika for that extra flavor. Base veggies is so easy, which is just chopped onion, garlic , ginger garlic paste , spring  onions and leeks, green bell peppers 🌶 carrots 🥕 
As I said this is my version of veggies ; you can add what ever is your preferred ones. Also The cottage cheese can be replaced with Tofu or Ground meat or even fish . I am dreaming out a clams and prawns 🍤 chili now; may be next among my chilis 😋

Also I want to mention the YouTube channel I git this recipe from. It is the domestic geek channel and I just love the chef. Sarah Lincoln if you are seeing this post anyhow, I want to tell you that you are just awesome 👏 

Ingredients 




Method:

In a heavy bottomed pan add butter, then onion and garlic. Cook till onion is soft. Add other veggies and cook for 2 mins. Add ginger garlic paste and chili Masala. Add cooked beans and remaining water from bean cooking or veggie stock. Bring everything to a boil and add worstershire sauce and jalapeños. Add Bok Choy at the end and cook for a min. Check for salt and you are done 😋

Ayala Pollichathu - Mackerel roast in plantain leaves

This is yet another traditional Kerala recipe, in which fish is roasted in plantain leaves. There is a two step process in cooking fish, first by shallow frying and then roasted inside a plantain leaf covered with masalas. So my experience with pollichathu was with Karimeen alone until this time, my favorite fish, which is called Pearl spot in English. All these while I haven't tried any other fish for this recipe. So let me tell you the story of how Ayala came into picture :D This happened on one fine day, my mom in law was telling me that the women who brings fish has brought lots of Mackerel and many other fishes and convinced her to buy a lot of them. So she was in a confusion on what will we do with all these, as weekend was almost going to finish and everyone of us moving to different places. And the same curry or fry would be boring and won't be appreciated by the men's league at home :D Then I went for helping her with the fish dilemma, she was having and...

Egg biryani

Biriyani - The most rated and loved dish in India. Be it north or south, biriyani fan club chain is impossible to break. Now I am going to expose one secret about me and Biriyani. I know once I reveal, there would be a lot of haters for me, but this is just my personal opinion and I am all in support for all its supporters. So the thing is growing up, the name of biriyani was like a hype which hit me, and I remember craving for biriyani back then. I used to think, oh man; who discovered this wonderful dish. But lately, I think I lost the love for biriyani, not only biriyani but sort of all Arabic food. I am not a big fan of arabic cuisine, even though the foodie in me can eat any food and respect and appreciate every cuisine; for some reason the ingredients of Arabic cuisine is not going well with my taste palette as well as tummy. But I m a big supporter of food lovers, and having the core fans of Arabic food at home, I have to prepare, but I love preparing as well. Coz for me what...

Grilled Chicken in Quinoa Tortilla wrap

Healthy meal preparation is so satisfying, as we know we are feeding our loved ones with clean food. When I say clean food it does mean, non processed, with balanced nutrients, and not in expense of the taste. These healthy tortilla wraps are so yummy that you will not even imagine it has so many hidden good stuffs in it. I am like my mom, she is too smart to hide the good stuffs in whatever she prepares and we will not even know what we just ate had something which we hate if given in its form. Now I have acquired that smartness too and just few days back I prepared an Avocado Mango smoothie for one of my colleague and she told, "I hate Avocados! My mom would be surprised if she comes to know that I had Avocado. But how yummy your smoothie is ! " I was glad that I could make someone eat a healthy thing which they hated ever, and my hiding skills worked out.  The same lady was fooled by my papaya halwa, she is a papaya hater too :P Fooling people is good som...
