Experience the authentic desi flavors of Paneer Aloo Matar Tamatar Mix Sabji, cooked in a terracotta kadhai over a traditional chulha (wood fire). This rustic cooking method brings out the rich, smoky aroma and earthy taste that make village-style food truly special.
Why Cook in a Terracotta Kadhai?
Using a mitti ka kadhai (earthen wok) is a traditional Indian practice that enhances the taste, texture, and nutrition of food. Terracotta cookware:
✅ Adds a smoky, earthy aroma for an authentic village-style experience
✅ Retains nutrients and enhances flavors by slow cooking
✅ Balances moisture levels, making the sabji naturally rich and thick
✅ Distributes heat evenly, preventing food from burning
✅ Is 100% natural, chemical-free, and eco-friendly
Cooking Process in a Mitti Kadhai:
1️⃣ Prepping the Kadhai – Soak the mitti ka kadhai in water before use to prevent cracking. Heat it slowly over a low flame for durability and enhanced flavor infusion.
2️⃣ Tempering & Masala Base – Start with desi ghee, add cumin seeds, onions, and ginger-garlic paste. Green chilies bring a spicy kick, while tomatoes and spices are slow-cooked until they release their rich aroma and flavors. The porous nature of the terracotta kadhai allows the masala to penetrate deeper, making the dish tastier.
3️⃣ Cooking Vegetables – Potatoes and green peas are added and cooked on low heat, absorbing all the rich masala flavors. The clay kadhai maintains moisture, ensuring perfectly soft and flavorful veggies.
4️⃣ Adding Paneer – Paneer cubes are gently mixed in and simmered to soak up all the aromatic flavors. A final touch of garam masala and kasuri methi enhances the dish, making it irresistible.
5️⃣ Serving the Sabji – Serve the sabji directly in the mitti ka kadhai, keeping it warm for longer and enhancing its rustic appeal. Pair it with hot chapati, tandoori roti, or jeera rice for the perfect meal!
Health Benefits of Cooking in a Terracotta Kadhai:
✔ Enhances Taste – Clay releases natural minerals like calcium, iron, and magnesium into food.
✔ Retains Nutrients – Slow cooking preserves vitamins and essential nutrients.
✔ Balances Acidity – The alkaline nature of terracotta neutralizes acidity, making food lighter and easier to digest.
✔ Eco-Friendly & Non-Toxic – 100% organic, free from harmful chemicals, and sustainable.
