Hope this link will help you Dear 😛

Can you clarify if your father in law is a vegetarian or can he eat non-veg food too.

Here are three recipes that to me are made with little to no oil.

Baingan Bharta
1 large eggplant (cut into cubes add a little water and cook until soft, mash and keep aside)
2 cups of low fat yogurt
2 whole bunches of green onions finely chopped
1 or 2 green chili's finely chopped
2 tsp of freshly roasted and ground cumin
1 tsp of black pepper
a cup of cilantro (corrainder leaves) finely chopped
salt to taste

Mix it all together and let the flavors mingle in the refrigerator. I normally do a dhungaar on this prior to serving it with kichdi. It's healthy and has no oil what so ever.

Tandoori Chicken without any oil

Chicken about 6-10 peices(you can use whatever you like, this will work with leg meat or with breasts for even a healthier meal)
1 cup of low fat yogurt
Roast the following: 3 arabol chillies (available anywhere in Indo markets or hispanic markets), 2 tsp of cumin seeds and 3 tsp of whole corrainder seeds. Grind them into a fine powder
1 tbsp of freshly grated ginger
1 tsp of salt
1/2 tsp of red food color
juice of 1 lime
1 cup of finely chopped cilantro
1/2 cup of finely chopped fresh mint

In a bowl add the yogurt and all the other spices and herbs and stir it together. Adjust salt. Pour this over skinned and cleaned chicken. Let it marinate overnight or for atleast 3-4 hours.

Bake in the oven until the chicken is cooked. Remove the chicken in a plate. Take the liquid released from the chicken and strain it in a saucepan. Reduce the liquid until it's nice and thick. Pour it over the chicken and garnish with fresh cilantro and mint and serve with onion rings and lime wedges

You can follow the same recipe with fish and it comes out amazingly good. Remember there is no oil in this with the exception of a little fat in the chicken (since I trimm mine extensively)

Shami Kabab

Ground Lamb or Beef or Chicken or Turkey or whatever you like (2 pounds)
3 cups of chana dal (washed and soaked)
1 tsp of garam masala
2 tsp of fresh dhania and jeera powder
1 tsp of haldi
1 tsp of laal mirchi powder
salt to taste

Pressure cook this with couple of glasses of water until the dal and meat are fully cooked. Open the cooker and dry the water out (the dal and meat mixture should be devoid of all water)

Mash the mixture with a wooden spoon and let it cool. Once it's cool add it to a bowl. Add fresh herbs (cilantro and mint to your liking), two or so green chillies and 2 eggs and mix it all with your hand until it's nice and soft like a dough.

Make kababs (I like to make larger ones like a hamburger patties). Now coat them in bread crumbs and bake them on a pan sprayed with olive oil. I bake mine at 300 degrees for 25 minutes or so.

Remove and serve with a chutney of your choice and roti.

I also make sandwiches out of them. I place it in a bun and smear some mint chutney, kethcup and place the kabab along with some sliced red onions and tomatoes. Cut it and serve.

Moong Dal with Dill

Wash 3 cups of Yellow Moong Dal and reserve
1 medium onion finely diced
3 cloves of garlic finely diced
Handful of curry leaves
1 tomato finely chopped
2 jalapenos or green chilis finely diced
2 tsp of jeera
2 tsp of dhania jeera powder
1 tsp of haldi
salt to taste
1 cup of fresh dill chopped (if you don't like dill use cilantro instead, but dill is excellent with this)
3 tsp of oil

In a non-stick pan add the oil. When the oil is hot add the curry leaves, whole jeera, garlic and green chili and let it saute for a few seconds.

Next add the onions and cook them until translucent. Now add the tomatoes and all the dry spices. Add the dal along with two glasses of water and let it all cook until the dal is tender (it should not be a paste but the grains should be tender). Add the dill and stir to combine. Serve with roti and rice.

Thanks, Brickyard. The shammi kabab recipe sounds great. I will try it.

Thanks everyone 😊

brickyard We are non vegiterians but dont eat beef. I will try all your recipes. Thanks a lot 😊

Kadhai chicken
finely chop two large onions, two large tomatoes (amount should be about same as onions) three green chillies, six cloves of garlic and one inch piece of ginger. One small bunch of coriander leaves also.

Clean and wash the chicken, cut in bite size pieces.
In a deep pan, mix all the chopped ingredients with chicken and salt and black pepper. Keep on medium heat until chicken is cooked, do not add water, keep the heat low if it starts to dry too quickly. If you want to add oil, you can add olive oil two spoons when the cooking is almost done. serve with chapati or phulka.
