    You can have it for lunch or dinner.
    Its very filling.

    1 carrot cut into cubes
    2 big tomatoes chopped
    10 small florets of cauliflower
    4 dried mushrooms soaked and cut into pieces
    1 bay leaf
    1 tsp dried oregano
    2 tsp olive oil
    1 litre vegetable stock
    ˝ tsp freshly ground black pepper
    Salt to taste

    Method:
    Heat the oil in a large pan.
    Add in the garlic, and sauté for a while.
    Add in the onions, and garlic, stir well.

    When the onions are a bit brown, add in the bay leaf,
    carrots, tomatoes, cauliflower, and the celery.

    Let it come to a slow boil, let the soup simmer for about 10 minutes.

    Those who like can sprinkle little parmesan cheese on the soup.


    Chefs are just like children.
    They should be seen not heard.

    This is a low fat matar paneer recipe that tastes very close to the restaurant style matar paneer. Make sure u don't skip the kasuri methi coz tht's what gives the spl flavour & taste to this dish.

    Matar Paneer(lowfat peas paneer curry):

    Heat 2 tsp oil. Saute , finely chopped, 1 inch gin, 3 cloves garlic, 2 medium onions until brownish.
    Generally the ratio of gin:garlic is 1:2. So adjust accordingly.
    Add in abt 1 tbsp cahewnuts & saute till slighttly brown.
    Now add 3 medium tomatoes chopped finely chopped, turmeric pwd & saute till they turn pulpy.
    Let cool & grind adding around 1/4 to 1/2 cup water.
    Should be a real fine paste.

    Now add another tsp of oil in the wok.
    Add in the spices-1/2 tsp garam masala pwd, 1 tsp each cori & cumin pwd, salt & chilly pwd to taste.
    mix & imme add in the puree.
    Take care not to burn the masalas.
    If u r not comfortable adding the masalas into oil,
    u can add the puree first & then add the spice powders. cook for 3-4 mins.

    Now add 1 cup frozen peas(washed) & cook for 5 mins or so until peas are 3/4th cooked.
    Add around 200 gms paneer(I like to cut mine into small pieces.
    U can cut accor to ur preference) & let cook for a further 2-3 mins.

    Add 1 tsp kasoori methicrushed between palms to make a rough powder. mix well.

    Serve after 15 mins so with phulkas or chapathis.

    Note:
    U can use low fat milk & make low fat paneer.

    While making home made paneer, u can add some salt & spices(like pepper,chilly flakes, kasuri methi, other dried herbs to ur liking) into the milk when it's simmmering & then curdle it using curd or lemon juice. This way ur paneer will not be very bland.

    I use the same recipe to make mushroom matar & tht tastes good too.

    Around 2 tbsb of milk can be added towards the end for a more creamier texture.
