Baked Paneer

Paneer is one thing that my husband absolutely loves. Most recipes ( Indian cuisine) that use paneer require the paneer in fried form. I would often not make a dish to avoid the hassle of frying paneer. I came up with a simple alternative, baking.

Ingredients:
Paneer - 400 gms cubed
Oil - 3 Tbl sp
Chili powder - 1tsp
Salt - to taste.

Method:

1. Mix oil, salt and chili powder in a bowl.
2. Lightly coat two opposite sides of the paneer cube.
3. Pre-Heat the oven to 375 degrees
4. Bake for 10 min.
   
5. Flip each cube and bake again for another 5 min.

PS: Do not use cookie sheets or any kind of baking sheets. Directly place the paneer on the baking sheet.

Oatmeal Chocolate Chip

This recipe happened when I was completely bored one afternoon and decided to bake cookies. The recipes I found online were doing me no good since I didn't have all the ingredients and so I decided to make my own recipe. How wrong could I go? was my attitude. I have no clue of the exact measurements since I eye balled most of the ingredients. I will try and get the measurements the next time I make it. To all the avid bakers who will probably be appalled at the recipe since measurement is supposed to be key, all I have to say is I am a person for whom baking typically means instant brownie/cake mix, so please bear with me.
Ingredients:
Instant Oatmeal
Sugar - regular white sugar
Eggs - 2
Baking Powder- 3 pinches
Semi-sweet chocolate chips
Milk - about 1/3 cup

Method:

1. Grind the oatmeal and sugar into a coarse mixture.
2. Slightly beat the two eggs and add it to the mixture.
3. Add milk to the mixture
4. Add the chocolate chips and mix well
5. Refrigerate for about 10 min
6. Pre-heat the oven to 375 degrees
7. Spoon the dough onto a baking sheet
   
8. Bake for about 12-13 min
9. Then pull the cookie out and flip it.
10. Bake for another 8 min

PS: This cookie might get a wee bit hard when cooled so warm it in the microwave for 20 seconds before serving.
