Cooking Indian dishes without oil is quite a challenge. Given the fact our palette is not quite accustomed to the raw taste of vegetables and spices, to make a dish which won’t upset our taste but will still be oil free has always been a mystery. The following dish is made keeping all these concerns in mind. One more thing, oil also acts as a lubricant in digesting food, so since it’s oil free the ingredients are carefully chosen so that they itself can go down the food canal ceaselessly. Enjoy!

Steps

1

Put all the ingredients except the Paneer into a mixer and make a paste
2

In a steel tiffin box mix the paneer cubes with the paste and close the lid
3

Make a sticky paste with Atta and use it to seal the lid. This is done so that no water goes inside.
4

In a big saucepan (ready Degchi) put a stand and fill it up with water so that stand is completely submerged
5

Carefully place the sealed tiffin box on the stand. Place the entire setup on the oven and wait for the water to boil
6

Once the water starts boiling, close the saucepan and reduce the flames. Continue boiling for the next 15 mins.
7

Turn off the oven but don’t disturb the setup for the next one hour or so. After an hour carefully lift the tiffin box, allow it to cool for some time, remove the “Atta seal” and serve.
