BM 86 Week 3 Day 3 - 

For the final day of this thali series, here is a festival thali which I put together a few months back when we had performed Sri Satyanarayana Pooja at home and invited about 50-60 friends. 

We do not use onion or garlic in the festival menu. Some of the dishes were outsourced and were not part of the actual Prasad but was included in the meal after the pooja.

The meal includes, Cabbage-Green Beans Dry Saute, Chana Masala-No Onion No Garlic, Shahi Mutter Paneer-No Onion No Garlic, Palak Dal, Mysore Pak, Naan, Tamarind Rice, Rice and Fried Chilies, Yogurt, Gulab Jamun and Sambar-Vada.

Naan, Mysore Pak, Gulab Jamun and Vada were the dishes which were outsourced. The Wheat Rava Halwa, Idli and Peanut Chutney are missing in the picture. 

I have mentioned the quantities of ingredients for a family for 4-5 as well as the actual quantities I used for the party (for future reference).

Ginger Paste 1 Tbsp
Green Chilies Paste 2 tsp

Mutter Paneer Masala 100 gms (Store bought-Rasoi Magic)

======================



Method Of Preparation -


Powder Cashews and set aside. Cube the paneer and soak them in hot water until needed. Thaw the frozen peas and set aside. 

Grind Tomatoes, ginger and green chilies and set aside.

In a heated wok/kadai or a sauce pan, add oil and the rest of the seasoning ingredients.

After the cumin seeds crackle, add the tomato puree, Red Chilli Powder and Mutter Paneer Masala Powder. Let the mixture cook well until oil floats on the top.

Now is the time to add the cashew powder, milk and heavy whipping cream. Let the mixture simmer for a couple of minutes and then to adjust the gravy consistency add about a cup of water.

Add salt and after the gravy is thick enough, slide in the drained paneer cubes and peas. Let it cook for a couple minutes and remove from fire.


Sprinkle the garam masala and kasoori methi. Mix well and cover for a few minutes. Remove from heat and garnish with coriander leaves. 

Serve warm with Naan/Roti.
