PANEER TIKKA AND VEGETABLE SALAD WITH STRAWBERRY PUREE

Salads are delicious, refreshing and the most easiest and nutritive way of eating vegetables and fruits. This time I made a salad with a twist.

Strawberry puree added that much needed tanginess and sweetness to the salad and the salad tasted delicious.

AMRITSARI PANEER BURJI

I came across this wonderful recipe in The Chak le India Cookbook and decided to try. You can try the recipe as it is if you wish for a mildly flavoured burji.
