Cookd masalas for rava
Method
Dry roast the rava until it is lightly browned and aromatic, then set it aside. Add high protein paneer, baking soda, vinegar and water and blend into a smooth paste and set aside.
In the same pan, pour oil, add mustard seeds and urad dal and let it splutter. Add in curry leaves, green chilli, and onions, and sauté until translucent.
Add the chicken mince and saute for 3 minutes until cooked, add in the chopped vegetables and saute for 2 minutes.
Add all the spice powders, salt and mix well, and cook until the raw flavour of the masala disappears.
Add the paneer mixture, water and bring it to a boil. Add the roasted rava, coriander and mint, and mix thoroughly, and bring it to a boil.
Cover and let it cook on a low flame for 6-7 minutes or until fully cooked. Garnish with coriander and mint and serve hot.
