Shahi egg curry

Shahi Egg Curry is another recipe from the Mughal cuisine. The curry is tasty, tangy, spicy and full of flavours. All this because the boiled eggs are cooked off in an onion-tomato cashew nut gravy, which is lip-smacking and creamy.
Kasuri methi (dry fenugreek leaves) added at the end lifts up the flavours. Simple everyday spices are added in the right amount to make this egg curry mouthwatering.
This is not only easy to make but is super delicious and can be served as a main dish, side dish or for breakfast with hot flaky parathas.

Palak Kofta / Spinach Balls Curry Palak Kofta / Spinach Balls Curry
I had made this Palak kofta curry for dinner last night. Koftas turned out really delicious. My son gobbled up a couple of koftas just like that... said they tasted good as is and didn't want to wait until the curry was ready. The spices in the gravy were well balanced. Koftas had a thin crispy covering with soft flavourful center..Flashback⏪, my mom used to make palak kofta curry when I was a little girl. My last attempt at making these koftas was way back in 2001. As a newly-wed I wanted to impress hubby dear.😉 Needless to say, the curry did not turn out the way I had imagined or remembered how it tasted when mom made. Unfortunately, picking up phone & making a call across oceans, every time I attempted something to cook was not an option back then...blame it on time zone difference and high international call rates.😆.Current day⏩, years of experience and confidence in my cooking skills and a zeal for variety in my meals got me to making these palak koftas again. I must say, they turned out so delicious that I'm already thinking about other vegetables that can be used to making koftas..This is my contribution to the second phase of #itsprocessoverproduct.To see more of my work, follow onInstagram- @TheRedPlateChroniclesFacebook - TheRedPlateChroniclesWordpress - http://theredplatechronicles.home.blogLoveM❤️ The Red Plate Chronicles -
Corn Palak Paneer Curry Corn Palak Paneer Curry
Today I made a delicious curry with sweet corn, spinach, and paneer. This is a healthy version of palak paneer. I was in a hurry to cook today, and while making the curry, I accidentally added the corn and tomatoes before the onions (I forgot to add the onions at first), but even then, the taste turned out amazing. My husband and son praised it so much without even being asked that it made my day! My dish was even called better than restaurant-style. Has something like this ever happened to you?

Curry Potatoes with Peas and Carrots Curry Potatoes with Peas and Carrots
I love Indian food. My favorite dishes to eat and make are curry potatoes and tikka masala. I have tweaked each recipe to a point that I feel like they're as perfect as they'll get. As I make it, this curry is not spicy, because I pair it with a spicy tikka masala and the flavors balance perfectly. If you want to spice it up, use hot curry powder in place of the regular curry powder or add up to 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper. This also works extremely well as a vegetarian main dish. StephieCanCook -
