Palak corn is a simple and flavourful dish combining fresh spinach with sweet corn and mild spices. The soft spinach gravy pairs well with the natural sweetness and slight crunch of corn, making it a versatile vegetable preparation. Blanching the spinach briefly before blending helps retain its fresh colour and gives the gravy a smoother texture. Cook the corn until just tender so it keeps its bite and does not become mushy. Serve palak corn with roti, naan, or rice for an easy everyday meal.

Kadhai paneer is a popular Indian paneer preparation made with paneer, capsicum, onions, tomatoes, and freshly ground spices. The combination of coriander seeds, cumin, and dried red chillies gives the dish its characteristic aroma and flavour. Cooking the vegetables until just tender keeps some texture in the gravy, while lightly sautéing the paneer helps it hold its shape. A fresh homemade spice blend makes a noticeable difference to the final taste. Serve hot with naan, roti, paratha, or rice for a satisfying meal.

Vrat wale aloo is a simple potato preparation made with ingredients that are commonly used during fasting. Boiled potatoes are cooked with spices such as cumin, green chilli, and rock salt, giving the dish a light yet flavourful taste. The potatoes can be cooked until lightly crisp on the outside while remaining soft inside. Keeping the spices simple allows the flavour of the potatoes to come through. Serve hot with kuttu roti, singhara puri, or homemade curd for a satisfying fasting meal.

Quinoa naan is a homemade variation of the traditional naan made using quinoa flour along with ingredients that help create a soft and workable dough. Quinoa flour gives the naan a mild nutty flavour and a slightly different texture from regular naan. Since quinoa flour has less elasticity than wheat flour, getting the dough consistency right is important for easy shaping. Allowing the dough to rest before rolling helps make it easier to handle. Cook the naan on a hot tawa or suitable cooking surface until lightly browned and serve warm with dal, vegetables, paneer, or a simple curry.

Kuttu chilla is a savoury pancake made using kuttu flour, also known as buckwheat flour, along with simple ingredients and mild spices. The batter is spread on a hot tawa and cooked until the edges turn crisp and the centre is cooked through. Since kuttu flour does not behave exactly like wheat flour, getting the batter consistency right is important for easy spreading and flipping. It can be served with curd, green chutney, or a simple potato preparation and is also commonly enjoyed during fasting days.
