Tasty dish, but can do without baking. Just make the sauce a bit thick and pour it over the boiled veggies. CB

Tasty dish, but I feel there is little need to bake it. Tastes just as good by pouring the sauce on boiled veggies.

Many times my office friends have family lunch or dinner get together one or the alternate off days turn by turn. When it is my family turn, my mother & wife follows straight royal Mughlai dishes like Subzis, Biryanis, Nans, Rotis and parathas. These dishes play very important role during treats offer to our guests and obtain praises. Specifically the Makhani rotis, masala paneer naan,laccha parathas, Kulcha is alway enjoyed with delicious royal subzis. Friends, their wives and kids alway praises for the treats they had during the party at our home.

Yes, you can try doing that but it would not take so much time. Microwave on HIGH till the cheese melts.

Very simple n easy to make recipes suggested with lesser time but yet tasty & healthy. Mouth watering aroma of Bread upma and Hariyali chawal was simply outstanding. Both dishes was finished without any wastage or leftover at my home. The another recipe I tried was Green Garlic Multigrain Rotis...something different with green garlic taste very good. Enjoyed by my loving family.

I was surprised how ?non? Indian this dish was, incorporating a roux and cheese. So when I cooked the spinach for the pur?e, I added some garlic and ginger, red onion, coriander powder, a bit of cardamom, and Garam masala to give it a Vedic flair. In the oven now.

You could add your fav cheese blend and make Mac n cheese using this sauce. I usually make the sauce with cornstarch. For people who like gluten free. Thank you this one sounds and looks really good
