How to get fussy milk drinkers to get the nutrients of the same without having to drink it?? Here is a solution I came up with when my son was about 3 years old and relishing Maggi as his staple food!!
INGREDIENTS
- Maggi -1 Brick
- Milk - 150 ml
- Cheese Slice / Grated Cheese - 1
- Water 50 ml
- Coriander - 1 tsp (Finely Chopped)
- Maggi masala
PROCEDURE
- Take a pan and add water and the Maggi brick in it
- When it is slightly cooked add the milk and let it come to a boil
- Keep stirring till the mixture has reduced to a nice cheesy texture
- Add the cheese and stir till it has melted
- Add Coriander
- Serve in a dish and garnish with more grated Cheese or a Slice
NOTE:
- Cheese can be replaced by fresh Paneer
- Maggi Masala can be replaces with white Pepper powder
- Egg can also be beaten and rapidly stirred into the mixture to blend perfectly
Many times it happens that when we boil Milk it curdles for one reason or other and we do not know what to do with such a small quantity of Paneer that is formed. Well... here is a quick recipe my maid came up with one fine day to pacify my son's supposed "emergency" hunger pangs... Albeit, the recipe is given with measurements for curdling fresh Milk!!
INGREDIENTS
- Milk - 1 ltr (will give about 300 gms of Paneer)
- Curd - 2 tbsp (To Curdle; It can be used even when Milk has curdled by itself) OR
- Alum / Phitkari - 1 Small piece
- Elaichi - 1 pod (Powdered)
- Sugar (To Taste)
PROCEDURE
- Curdle the milk and strain it till dry
- Pour the 1/4th of the strained liquid into a pan, add Sugar and Elaichi Powder
- Stir till the Sugar is dissolved
- Add the Paneer and keep stirring till the mixture is soft but dry
- Serve hot or cold
NOTE:
- Do not use either the Paneer or the leftover water if tasting foul
- The leftover water can be used to make Curries, Chaas or knead Flour for softer rotis
