It is getting a bit harder for me to cook elaborate meals on weekdays. So many times I make one dish filled with vegetables and some protein. This paneer and vegetable curry is one such dish that is full in flavor and had loads of vegetables. I made it like Konkani bhajis with coriander-cumin-garam masala-coconut paste. I served it with plain basmati rice. It made a wonderful dinner and lunch next day.

Add paneer, ground paste, cook till done.

We are not huge fans of burgers. We avoid them when we can. But there are some days when we like a good burger. I personally like chicken burgers and rarely get vegetarian burgers. I have many friends who are absolute fans of black bean burgers. I decided to try my hands at making them at home. But instead of black beans, I used whole masoor. These masoor burgers were hearty, delicious and spicy, the way we like it. They made a very filling dinner.
