No deep-fry chili paneer
Paneer is usually a Thursday affair in my household these days... why??? Because.. My Maa-in-law is with us.. and she's strict about the No-Onion-No-Garlic rule on Thursdays.. like many many Odiya married women.. who are Maa Laxmi devotees... So making paneer with just tomatoes & ginger is usually how we make it... usually.. until last week.. Wednesday when I made this... "Thaka" (meaning - Fake) Chili Paneer.. and it was Yum.. my son loved it... and everyone loved it.. with Roti Me? Follow Thursday rules?? Naa...Not so much.. I am god fearing, but I don't believe gods (or goddesses) have food rules... Yes, that is where I have always been cross with my family... Like if I don't eat onion or garlic on Thursday (and think about killing someone or think bad stuff for them), god will love me more !!! No Way.. its these old fashioned thoughts are where we Indians are kind of party poopers... there are so many things that just don't fall in line.. hen...
