Today's meal consists of side dishes - no main course!
Paneer tikkas and green bean casserole. Not a very popular combination. I wanted to do something with green beans and the ideal combo with that would have been a non vegetarian steak. The next best thing to animal protein for vegetarians is Paneer! Hence the paneer 'steaks' (tikkas)!

That's all for tonight folks!

| Green bean casserole and Paneer tikkas |
Cheesy green bean casserole
2 cups green beans chopped and boiled with salt water till they are tender
1 + 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 + 1/2 cup fried onions - I chopped the onions and then fried them with a little salt and oil till they turned brown
1 packet cream of mushroom soup packet - Make according to directions - just add a little less water so the end result is thicker than the usual soup.
1/2 cup of milk
Salt and pepper to taste
Mix the beans, cream of mushroom soup, milk, 1 cup onions, 1 cup of cheese, pepper and pour the mixture in a casserole dish. Bake at 400 deg F for about 20 mins. 10 mins before the dish is done add the remaining onions and cheese and let the dish finish cooking. Remove, cool and serve.
Paneer Tikka
500 gm paneer cut into finger sized chunks
For the marinade
4-5 cloves garlic
1/2″ piece ginger, peeled and chopped
Red chilli powder to taste
1 tsp kitchen king masala
1 tbsp cumin, roasted and ground
1 tsp oil
juice of half a lime
3 tbsp thick curd
Salt to taste
Red chilli powder to taste
1 tsp kitchen king masala
1 tbsp cumin, roasted and ground
1 tsp oil
juice of half a lime
3 tbsp thick curd
Salt to taste
Grind all the above to a paste
Coat the paneer pieces with the marinade and let it sit covered in the refrigerator for a min of 30 minutes.
Ideally you would put them on skewers and grill them. I just roasted them on a non stick pan with a little oil sprayed to prevent them from sticking too much to the pan.
