fried rice noodles.
You fry noodles straight from the packet. Do not boil. Break noodles up into half or smaller if you prefer - they puff up very quickly so smaller pieces are easier to manage. Try using some clean sissies to make cutting noodles easier. Kids love these fried noodles. Try keeping some aside and sprinkling some chaat masala on them when fresh out of oil!! Yum.

 Zarnak recipe

                               PANEER (Cottage cheese)

2 litres fresh milk...

½ kg curd

1 tsp salt

Add salt to curd and mix. Bring milk to a boil and add curd mixture and stir. Keep on fire till curd separates. Let it cool for a little while.

(Chopped parsley, crushed garlic, crushed black pepper or roasted crushed cumin can be added to flavour the paneer)



That is a great cheese that Aunty uses for cottage cheese. Here is a low fat curd cheese option. If you don't need low fat, just use regular yogurt.

to make low fat curd cheese, take 2 cups low fat yogurt put in a mulmul cloth and hang with bowl underneath overnight. (try hanging cloth from shelf in fridge with bowl below to catch water) this will make 1 cup low fat curd cheese.



To make low fat yogurt

Boil milk - then leave on very low heat for 15 minutes. Turn stove off, but leave on top if stove until milk becomes room temperature. Once room temperature, put in fridge until malai forms on top. Take milk from fridge, remove malai and put into stove on low heat until milk is room temp.

Remove from stove, add 1/2 tsp yogurt, 1 pinch of salt (the salt prevents water from forming in yogurt)

Put covered dish with this mix in microwave or oven for 4-5 hours or until set. DO NOT TURN MICROWAVE OR OVEN ON

2 cups sugar

4 large eggs, at room temperature

1 cup milk

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Line two 12-cup muffin tins with cupcake papers.

In a large bowl, on the medium speed of an electric mixer, cream the butter until smooth. Add the sugar gradually and beat until fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add the dry ingredients in three parts, alternating with the milk and vanilla.
