      • 1 scoops of Origin Nutrition Unflavoured Protein

      • 1/2 tsp kitchen king masala

      • 1/2 tsp green cardamom powder

      • Salt to taste

      • Oil for frying

 Ingredients for the Makhani Gravy: 

      • 1 onion

      • 2-3 tomatoes

      • 1 inch ginger

      • 8-10 cashews

      • 2 green chillies

      • 1 tbsp butter

      • 4 tbsp fresh cream

      • 1/2 tbsp red chilli powder

      • 1/4 tbsp kitchen king masala

      • 1/4 tbsp garam masala

      • Salt to taste

Let's Get Cooking!

Makhani Gravy 

  1. Melt the butter in a pan. Add chopped onions, tomatoes, cashews, green chillies, and ginger. Cook until the tomatoes are soft. Let it cool down. Then blend it until it is a smooth paste.

  2. Heat the rest of the butter. Add the gravy paste. Stir in the spices until you get rid of the raw smell. Cook for a couple of minutes. Add fresh cream for that classic makhani taste.

Tiranga Kofta 

First comes the orange layer. Squeeze water from grated carrot. Mix it with salt, black pepper, roasted gram flour, red chilli powder, kitchen king masala, green cardamom powder, one tsp of Origin Nutrition Unflavoured Protein, and cornflour. Roll this mix into a small ball, and there goes your bright orange layer.

Next comes the white layer. Mix grated paneer with salt, black pepper, roasted gram flour, red chilli powder, kitchen king masala, green cardamom powder, one tsp of  Origin Nutrition Unflavoured Protein, and cornflour. Form it into a ball, and you've just got it!

Finally, the green layer. Blanch spinach for a few minutes and wash it in cold water right away. This helps retain its colour. Grind it into a thick paste and mix it with roasted gram flour, salt, black pepper, red chilli powder, kitchen king masala, green cardamom powder, one tsp of Origin Nutrition Unflavoured Protein, and cornflour . This is the last layer.

Time to assemble and fry the balls. Flatten the paneer ball and stuff the carrot ball inside. Seal it up well. Now, wrap the spinach ball around the paneer. Fry these until they are crispy and golden. Let them cool. Cut them in half. You will see the pretty tricolour layers.

Place the fried koftas ten minutes before serving so they stay crisp and don't lose the tiranga colors.

This is more than just a meal. It is a special time with your family. Get your little chefs ready. Put on your aprons. Make this healthy tricolour dish for Independence Day.

Teach your kids all about our national flag while cooking up a delicious dish this Independence Day!
