Punjabi Thali with Methi Paneer and Makhani Dhal
| Description | ‘Thali’ is the name of the metal tray on which a small selection of dishes (often vegetarian) are served. Widely available all over India, it’s a great way of trying a range of flavours and textures from curries and dhals to pickles, chutneys and fried snacks. Here we’ve got a version from Punjab in the north of India where the food is richer with dairy than the south, and full of hearty vegetables. The paneer dish is cooked with lots of methi (fenugreek leaf) which gives it a distinctive ‘curry’ aroma. We’ve also got a root vegetable subji, buttery makhani dhal, crispy breads known as pooris, pilau rice, lemon raita and finally a deliciously hot chilli and garlic chutney! |

I've never had paneer before, so this felt experimental. The recipe didn't disappoint though. The curry was tasty enough on its own, but was lifted even further by the lemon raita and chilli chutney. I was a bit disappointed with the dhal, which was a bit lacking in flavour but that could have been entirely my fault.
Maybe the best one yet?! There wasn't a dish that missed the mark, taste was great, it was really easy to cook and came together in no time.
We're so happy to hear that this dish really stood out as a star of your subscription. It all looks delicious, especially those lovely crispy pooris! Great work!
I think this was the best spice box yet. Easy, delicious, and a little indulgent too. The breads were sublime. That k you!
