Green Tomato chutney ||No Onion - No Garlic Raw Tomato Chutney || Andhra style Pachi Tomato Chutney

Chutney is the main dish in South Indian menu. Green tomato chutney is one of  the chutney varieties which is prepared using raw/ unripe tomatoes. Also famously known as Pachi Tomato chutney in Andhra. Today's chutney is my second No Onion - No Garlic recipe. As I prepared this for idli's when I was fasting. It is tangy and spicy in taste. We can have it with steamed rice, idli, dosas, pesarattu. But I love to have it with hot steamed rice with dollop of ghee 😋. Generally we prepare riped/red tomato chutney by frying ingredients like mustard and Methi seeds, but for this green chutney we use groundnuts and sesame seeds and fresh scraped/grated coconut which is very healthy. There are many nutritional benifits of using green tomatoes, it rich in antioxidants and Vitamin C. So let's get this benifits and stay healthy 🤗. 




  We can also use onions and garlic as per your wish. Little amount of Peanuts are used otherwise the tangy taste will reduced and tastes like normal peanut chutney. Adding sesame seeds adds taste to the chutney and also healthy. We can also add a pinch of tamarind. Chutney taste yummy when it is spicy so adjust chilli quantity accordingly.  Using Ghee for tempering will gives good taste.

Malai Matar Paneer || No Onion No Garlic Malai Matar Paneer

Today's recipe Malai matar paneer is very delicious, lipsmacking and it's very special dish for me. Malai means Pala  meegada in telugu, Matar paneer is the first paneer recipe i prepared when I was in Khurda(Odisha). And I learnt this recipe from my family friend Devi Vadina 😍. She  is wonderful cook, I learnt many traditional and special recipes from her 😍🤗. Coming to recipe this is my first No Onion No Garlic recipe. Many of us do fasting where we do not add onion and garlic on that particular day, so thought to post something which is helpful on fasting days. Personally I love to have food with no onion garlic from childhood. 


   
    Malai is nothing but fresh cream, we can use stored bought malai or malai that is collected at home from milk.  If you d't know how to collect milk no problem I will explain how i do. I boil milk at night, once it cool down I  keep it in refrigerator, morning I collect the malai from milk and store it in container and use it whenever I want by just beating it with spoon or beater.  We can also prepare Butter from that.After adding malai/ meegada/fresh cream recipe color and taste  changes totally. I had it with  Carrot Rice for lunch and with roti for dinner😋. It's mouth melting, smooth and delicious in taste 😋😋. 


Let's start recipe..

Instructions 

1) Cut paneer into cubes. (in your desired size). 


2) Take a non-stick pan add 1 tsp of oil and fry paneer both sides  till it changes color. Do not burn it. 

3) I am using fresh matar, so I am boiling it in water by adding a pinch of salt till it become smooth. If your using frozen then just shallow fry it by adding a pinch of salt and take it into bowl. 


4) Take a mixer jar add chopped tomatoes, ginger, green chilli and cashew nuts. 



5) Grind the above to smooth paste without adding any water. 



6) Add 1 tsp of Butter and  3 tsp oil then add cumin seeds/jeera fry it for a second then add turmeric, red chilli powder and mix everything well. Maintain low flames otherwise it powders will burn fastly. 



7) Now add prepared tomato puree to the above and mix everything well. 



8) Fry the above in medium to low flames. 



9) Add kasuri Methi to the above and mix till oil oozes out as shown below. 



10) Now add Malai/ fresh cream to the above. 



11) Mix everything well so that tomato puree masala and malai mix well. See how color changes after adding malai 😍. 



12) Cook the above for 2 to 3 minutes and then add fried paneer and boiled matar/baatani to the above mix well. 



13) Add 1 glass of water(adjust accordingly).  And cook it on low flames for 3 to 5 minutes. 



14) Now add garam masala powder to the above. 



15) Mix the above well, if you feel gravy is very thick then add 1/2 glass of water. 



16) Close the lid and cook 3 to 5 minutes on medium to low flames. Now oil will oozes out as shown below, that's perfect 👌. 



Malai matar panner is ready to serve, garnish it with malai and coriander leaves. 



As I told I had it with Carrot Rice, you can also have it with any flavoured rice like Peas Pulao, or any parathas like Lachha paratha and enjoy with your loved once. 



Note

* You can also add garlic and onions if your interested. 

* Adding kasuri Methi gives good flavour and taste. If you do not have kasuri Methi just skip it. 

Tips

** Add fresh malai to make the curry tasty. 

** Main Point to remember is to boil matar/baatani. If it half boiled and we add in gravy, then it will take time to cook and recipe will spoil. 

** Use non - stick pan/Kadai to fry paneer, otherwise paneer will stick to bottom of Kadai. 

** Adjust water, spices as per your requirement.
