So there are a few days when an experiment in the kitchen turns out to be something really delicious and scrumptious. Although those days are few for me, haha. I am more of a "stick to the recipe" kind of person! But as Remy says in Ratatouille "..don't just survive, create and discover...", I thought why not "create" something from scratch, something simple, but most importantly, something savory. Now as much as I love desserts, I am petrified to experiment in that department. So I thought I'll stick to the basics and just play with the flavors.
So the base recipe of this bread is that of a banana bread! Yes I am not using yeast or anything in this bread. Just replacing banana with paneer and some of the most aromatic Indian spices.
So let's make this!
Ingredients :-
Dry
All Purpose Flour or Maida - 200gm
Baking Powder - 1 tsp
Baking Soda - 1/2 tsp
Salt - 1 tsp
Dry Red Chili - 1
Kasuri Methi/Dry Fenugreek Leaves - 1 tbsp
Wet
Vegetable Oil - 100 ml
Yogurt - should be unflavored - 100 ml
Eggs - 2
Paneer - 100 gm, grated
Tomato - 1, finely chopped and deseeded
Cilantro leaves - a bunch, optional
Grease a 9x4 inch loaf pan
Pre-heat the oven to 350 F
Step 1 : Ground the red chili and fenugreek leaves
Step 2 : Add all the dry ingredients together and then in a separate bowl add all wet ingredients together. Then slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry and quickly fold into a thick batter. Do not overmix, and mix only until you cannot see the dry flour.
Step 3 : Pour the contents into the loaf pan, and bake at 350 F for 40-45 minutes
Step 4 : Take out the loaf after the time is up, and let it cool on a cooling rack
Voila!
