Khati Rolls


My mom taught me this easy recipe to make khati rolls. Vik, Arghya, and I made 50 of them for our last Diwali party:) We had three pans burning at one time.... we could beat the Chipotle burrito makers anyday...

Marinade Ingredients:
Whole milk yogurt- 1 cup
Tandoori Masala- 2 teaspoon
Garam masala- 1/2 teaspoon
Lemon Juice- 1 tablespoon
Garlic/Ginger paste- 2 teaspoon
Oil- 1 tablespoon
Coriander chutney- 2 teaspoon
Salt- 1 teaspoon

Other ingredients: Malaysian Paratha (Kaman Brand), Mint Chuntney (Swad brand)

Cut paneer into cubes and cut onions lengthwise. Place paneer, onions, and marinade in a plastic container. Marinate overnight.
Next day, bake paneer on 350 degrees until paneer tender. Place on broil for 3 to 4 minutes to make paneer crispy (watch paneer so they do not burn).
After paneer cooked, cook Malaysian paratha on stove.
Place paratha on aluminum foil and fill paratha with one stripe of mint chutney and cooked paneer and then roll into a burrito shape with the aluminum foil.
Enjoy your hard work!

Kamal's Vegetable Pie


This is one of the many recipes that Vikesh's mom gave to Kamal after they got married. They both wanted to share it with everyone. It is very simple and makes a great dish in minutes. Vik and I had it when we were visiting Kamal and Vikesh in Kansas City:)
Servings - 4-5
Need 8x8 square pan or 9 inch round pan (glass or non stick)
Ingredients:
1 packet of 10 oz frozen chopped broccoli (defrosted)
1/2 cup chopped yellow onion
1/2 cup chopped green pepper
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 1/2 cup milk
3/4 cup bisquick
3 eggs
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/4 or 1/2 red chili powder - optional for flavor, depending on taste

How to make it:
-Heat oven to 400 - Lightly grease pan with oil - Pam spray is fine
- Mix broccoli, onion, green peppers and cheese in the pan
- Beat remaining ingredients in a bowl (milk, bisquick, eggs, salt, pepper, chili powder)
- Pour this mixture over vegetables in the pan
- Bake for about 40 minutes- Check if knife comes out clean- If done, cool for 5 min before cutting and serving.
- Enjoy Vegetable Pie!
Optional - You can saute the vegetables before you put them in the greased Pan. You can take a skillet, add some oil, and saute the onions first, add in the green peppers and then the broccoli. Saute it on medium heat for 8-10 minutes total. After that, transfer the vegetables into the greased pan and add cheese.
