Paneer Makhmali

I tried out the Paneer Makhmali recipe present in Nita Mehta's "The best of chicken and paneer" and it turned out pretty good. Its a tomato based gravy with coconut milk, lemon juice and paneer tempered with mustard seeds and curry leaves. For those, who have her book i would definitely recommend trying the recipe out !

Sanyo Indoor Barbecue Grill

The other day we stopped by Bed, Bath and Beyond and picked up "Sanyo HPS-SG3 200-Square-Inch Electric Indoor Barbeque Grill, Black" ,http://www.amazon.com/Sanyo-HPS-SG3-200-Square-Inch-Electric-Barbeque/dp/B00011HH22/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=home-garden&qid=1231866998&sr=8-1

My husband was determined to grill his burgers and since we live in an apartment we cannot use the outdoor barbecue that we have. We were quite happy with the buy. It is very light weight, easy to use, easy to clean and also smoke free. The smoke alarm was activated once but thats because the grill was kept right below the smoke alarm and as the burger got done it was activated.

Nishanth tried out grilling steak and chicken. The chicken came out perfect. The steak, well it curled up and theres some learning to be done on that side. This time Nishanth didnt place the grill right under the smoke alarm and it didnt go off!

Nishanth grilled burgers and franks on the grill and it came out good. Well, looks like he is getting the hang of grilling on this grill.

Its perfect for the indian barbeques too - tandoori chicken, tandoori paneer tikkas, chicken tikkas, shish kabobs and also for baking the pav of the pav bhaji. I hope we do get to do a lot of grilling on it. I would recommend it and theres supposed to be a smaller version available too.
