Malai chaap is a north Indian curry made with soya chaap. It is cooked into creamy and mildly spicy masala gravy made with rich malai or cream.

Easy to cook recipe, suitable for parties or special occasions. Best substitute of chicken. It is a vegetarian delight.

It took only 20-25 minutes of active cooking time ( making a dish like this in this much of time is actually a good to go recipe when you have a five month old baby who needs you in every fifteen minutes).

  • If using frozen chaap, take out the required quantity of chaap from the freezer and first fry it and then boil it before cooking.
  • If using fresh chaap, then use it directly.

STUFFED CAPSICUM

Stuffed bell pepper had been on my to-cook list for quite sometime. A perfect vegetarian meal loaded with goodness of protein, veggies and yummy ingredients creating a balanced meal for everyone. Quick Tip #  As kids we used to eat the stuffing and discard the pepper skin because it tasted bland. So my mom started to sprinkle the inside of the empty capsicum with salt before stuffing. After de-seeding the bell peppers, sprinkle some salt on the inside and microwave for 2-3 minutes. This will reduce the cooking time in half and while eating stuffed capsicum, skin will not taste bland.
