Mutter Ki Kofta Curry

Rather than a repeating a traditional recipe I like to innovate, explore, taste. Winter is the best season for such explorations, we get variety and fresh vegetables easily. Green peas is one of the heroes of them, we had mutter paneer, pulav, patice, subji, kachori of Green peas, this hero tastes amazing in any form. It’s a kid’s favourite, full of proteins and rich in colour. I’ve used green peas to make this delicious kofta curry.

I am a passionate chef! A year back, I took an exit from the IT industry to drive my passion for making healthy salads and soups. It led to me starting my venture Greeny Tales, serving healthy wholesome salads and meals at your doorstep. I always explore new recipes, search for healthier versions. Sometimes I succeed, sometimes I don't but the passion never dies and that keeps me going. The lockdown was a crucial period for all and I was not an exception. My newly started venture suddenly paused and those were very gloomy days. On a brighter side, it turned out to be a great time for all the home chefs. So many new recipes were created, everyone tried their hands on new dishes. To keep my passion alive, I experimented with so many recipes, got creative with food and created my own versions of them! The lockdown was a crucial period for all, I was not an exception too. My newly started new venture suddenly paused and those were very gloomy days. But it was a great time for all the home chefs, so many new recipes were invented, everyone tried their hands-on new dishes. Keeping my passion alive, I tried so many new recipes and also become more creative and invented my recipes and versions too.
