Shahi Paneer
Shahi is a Hindi word and translates to royal and Paneer is basically cottage cheese. So literal translation of this Indian curry is Cottage Cheese in a Royal Gravy. With Indian curries, there are some tricks and tips e.g., if you want the curry to have a white/royal base (Shahi), boil the onions before making a paste; if you want it red, fry the onions before making the paste; if you want the curry to be deep brown or darker in colour, cook it in an iron wok/vessel. As is evident from the pictures, this curry has a white base, hence the onions have been boiled before being made into a paste.

Ragi/Finger Millet Idli
I have grown up eating a lot of south Indian food. The primary reason for that being my Dad's love for south Indian cuisine. Idli was very common at our breakfast table during my growing up years. Same was reflected in my kitchen when I started cooking. To add to the likelihood of South Indian cuisine finding a place in my kitchen, was the fact that we lived in Hyderabad for 12 years. Hyderabad is the capital of Telangana and an Indian city we hold very close to our hearts as a family. Thats where we started our life together, where our daughter was born. So many first times of my life in this city!
