I finally made a saag paneer that tastes as good as the restaurant kind and I had to write it down

Adapted from the serious eats vegan saag recipe except obviously it's not vegan. But trust me! tofu cooked this way tastes way better than any store-bought paneer I've tried, don't ask me why, it just does.

1 lb firm tofu

2 tbls miso paste

1/2 a lemon worth of juice

salt

pepper

neutral oil

1/2 a large red onion, diced

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 inch ginger, minced

1 tsp cumin seeds

1 dried red chili

1 cardamom pod, crushed

1/2 large tomato or 1 roma tomato, diced

1 tsp ground cumin

1 tsp ground coriander

1 tsp ground turmeric

20-24 oz frozen spinach or a mix of frozen spinach and frozen mustard greens

2 tbls plain full-fat yogurt

1/4 cup heavy cream

For the tofu:

Preheat the oven to 375F. In a bowl, mix the miso paste, lemon juice, and 1 tbls oil with a fork until homogeneous.

Press the tofu between some paper towels to get the moisture out, then cut it into cubes, about 3/4" on each side. Add the cubes to the miso mixture and stir to coat. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Place some parchment paper on a sheet pan and spread the tofu cube over the parchment in a single layer. Bake for 20 mins, stirring occasionally, until the tofu is firm and slightly toasted.

For the sauce:

Heat a heavy frying pan (I used a 10" cast iron) over medium heat and add 2 tbls neutral oil. When sizzling hot, add the onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.

Add the ginger and garlic and stir until fragrant. Add the cumin seeds and cardamom pod and stir again. Allow this to cook until it starts to stick to the pan slightly, about another 5 minutes.

Add the tomato dice and stir to unstick any of the onion mixture from the pan. Cook until there is no more liquid in the pan and the tomatoes are falling apart, about 5-6 minutes.

Add the cumin, coriander, turmeric and red pepper to the pan and stir to mix. Add the thawed greens and stir to distribute the spices. Cook for 8-10 minutes until the greens are warm and cooked to your taste.

turn off the heat and stir in the yogurt, 1 tablespoon at a time, until fully mixed. This will prevent it from clumping. Then add the heavy cream and stir. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Finally, add the tofu cubes and stir to distribute them. Serve with dal masoor chilla, rice, and turmeric chutney.

Hey Najia! I love this blog so much! I have a question. I find cooking pretty difficult sometimes. I'm chronically ill and also the kitchen stresses me out a bit because I'm very scatterbrained and there's knives and fire and stuff. I also fuck things up in the kitchen pretty easy. Are there any recipes on here you find particularly easy to make? That you'd recommend for when you just cannot be arsed? Hope you're having a wonderful day, I know it's your birthday 😄🎉

Thank you!

I can understand your stress—cooking can involve things that are objectively dangerous and also time-sensitive. I'd recommend:

Try recipes where you don't have to come into direct contact with the blades you use. Some Indian dals, for example, cook lentils in a sauce made from blended onion, tomato, and garlic; you could process them using a food processor or blender. A lot of things (fresh salsa, guacamole, a duqqa of garlic, chilies, and spices that you can throw in to cook with some lentils) can be prepared in a mortar and pestle, too.

I've never used one, but a vegetable chopper might help in a similar way that a food processor would, by reducing the amount of knifework that you have to do. There are a lot of recipes where a chopped onion is the only knifework required.

Also try recipes that are cooked in the oven, and not on the stovetop. Something that gets thrown into the oven on low heat to cook (like a casserole or fukharat dish) takes longer, but is more hands-off, than something that's cooked on the stove.

Do all of your prep work first. Read through the recipe and see what chopping, blending &c. needs to be done, prep each ingredient, and put it in its own little bowl. This includes anything in the ingredients list that says "1 onion, diced" or similar: do that right off the bat. If the recipe says "meanwhile" or asks you to do prep for anything while anything else is cooking, you might choose to disregard that and do all the prep first, depending on how long the cook time is and how much attention it needs (e.g., soup on a low simmer for half an hour can pretty much be left alone; anything in a frying pan cannot). This way you won't be rushing to chop anything quickly while worrying that something else is going to overcook.

Look for vegetables, like broccoli / cauliflower / romanesco and green beans, that can be broken up with your hands rather than chopped. Rip up cilantro and parsley rather than chopping them.

Admittedly "simple" is not the guiding principle of this blog, but here are some recipes that I think could be easily adapted:

Fukharat l3des: just one onion to chop. Cooked on low heat in the oven.

Fried tofu sandwich: just mixing sauces and spices. You can skip coating the tofu in cornstarch and frying it. Instead try freezing the whole block, thawing it, cutting into two or four pieces, and then marinating it in a plastic bag with your sauce overnight. Then bake the tofu for 15-20 minutes, turning once, at 350 °F (180 °C).

Roasted celery and potato soup: requires only very rough chopping; the cooking methods are baking and simmering. The fried tempering could be skipped by just adding those ingredients into the simmer earlier.

Carrot salad or chickpea salad or tapenade: you could throw all of the ingredients in a food processor.

Moroccan lentils: just an onion and tomato to grate or process.

Kashmiri lal chaman: the only thing you need to cut is tofu; the gravy is just water and spices. You could bake the tofu instead of frying it.

Black bean burgers: no chopping or frying if you omit the onion and carrot and elect to bake the finished patties.

'Chicken' and olive tajine: the marinade is blended or pounded, and there is no other prepwork to do other than chopping one onion. Everything can be simmered on low heat until cooked, so it's pretty hands-off.

Chana pulao: mostly rice, chickpeas, and spices. Some aromatic prep, but you could crush instead of chopping those.

Romanesco quiche: no knifework at all if you omit the aromatics and break aprt the romanesco with your hands.

Spanish garlic mushrooms: just crush garlic instead of slicing and buy pre-sliced mushrooms. There is frying, though.

Eggplant cooked salad: the eggplant is broiled and then spooned out. No knifework required if you use tomato puree.

Butternut squash soup: just roasting and simmering. No knifework required if you omit the aromatics and buy pre-cubed squash.

Dishes with a base of lentils, chickpeas, beans, rice, and/or noodles are great because there's no knifework that needs to be done to prepare the beans &c. themselves.

[gothhabiba]

hello najia, we've always made loubia beans like a dal at home in india, so tomorrow i'm going to try it your (the original?) way! i have two questions though:

i got harissa paste from the store instead of powder. how can i substitute that in? should i add it earlier on when blooming the spices or later on with the tomato?

if one were not vegan so open to adding meat, what stocks would you recommend? what meat stocks are typically used in moroccan loubia? what do stocks do to the flavour apart from making it thicker and richer? (i've never used stocks in cooking and I'm very interested in trying it with dal for example!)

"Loubia" is just sort of the word for "beans" (or certain kinds of beans) so I'm sure it's used by people from different countries in different ways--in Morocco it's used to refer specifically to the stew made by cooking white beans with tomato, onion, olive oil, spices &c. The same cooking method used on a different base product gives you "l'des" (similarly just the word for "lentils," but we mostly use it to refer to lentils cooked in this particular way). Some people throw everything into the pot at the same time, while others fry off the onion, garlic, and tomato first and then add the beans and water (which I go into more in my l'des recipe).

I mentioned harissa powder as a potential alternative to red chili powder, which some people include in loubia & some people don't. Harissa paste isn't a typical inclusion in these stews--we use it as a condiment with a finished meal (couscous, kebabs, &c.). If you're going to use chili powder, keep in mind that here this refers to just dried, powdered red chili peppers, not "chili powder" the spice blend used to flavor "chili" the dish. You could also use a slit fresh red or green chili, cayenne powder, a dried red chili broken into several pieces, or just omit it.

Both loubia and l'des are very frequently vegetarian. Some people add cured dried meat (al qadid), ground beef (kefta), or cubed beef (al Hem). If you're adding beef, it should be fried at the beginning before adding beans and water.

These bean / pulse stews typically use water. The 'stock' you would get if you included meat would just result from the meat simmering in the water along with the other ingredients (which is what my suggestion for vegetable stock or faux beef stock concentrate is seeking to mimic).

Here's a video recipe for loubia including meat. Some words:

maqadir: ingredients

al-Hem: meat / beef

bSla: onion (she says "jouj bSla," "two onions". later she says "bSla Hmra," red onion, and "bSla bayda," white onion)

matesha: tomato (later she specifies that she has pureed four tomatoes)

kaas dyal zit: tea glass of [olive] oil

chwiya dyal mlHa: a little salt

zafran khirqum: fake saffron used for colouring purposes

touma: garlic

qzbara wa madnous, mqtte': minced cilantro/coriander and parsley

flflat Harin: spicy peppers

skinjbir: ginger (jouj ma'lqa sghar--two small spoonfulls)

bzar: black pepper (two spoons)

khirqum / khirqum bldi: turmeric (two spoons)

kilo dyal loubia: 1 kilogram of white beans

fixing ur ask drought hi top 5 uhh vegetables

U KNOW THIS IS A TERRIBLE THING TO ASK ME I AM SO BAD AT VEGETABLES. I'M GETTING AN F IN VEGETARIANISM

ok all of these will be under the caveat of. being cooked indian style. i am too unused to vegetables cooked other ways and am generally greatly bothered by their textures. when i eat veggie noodle it is actually just noodle. and egg.

i'm also gonna link random recipes that i have not tried and cannot vouch for the qualities of but just to give an idea of how i eat them

okra (bhindi masala - we don't make this with any of the additional stuff like onions/tomatoes, it's just the okra and spices stir fried)

um. are beans vegetables? if so, garbanzo beans (chana masala)

POTATO (aloo curry) (drier version: jeera aloo)

oh. onions are vegetables. i love onions! no recipe needed, put onions in everything (red > spring > yellow)

i'm cheating again (or not, google says beans and lentils are vegetables) and saying yellow lentils (moong dal fry)

Improved Market Stalls 1.0

Over time, EA added a variety of regional recipes and market stalls — except they didn't care to integrate any of them.  This mod fixes that.  Initially, this mod was just going to focus on the missing recipes, but as there are multiple market stalls (even non-food ones) that could use improving, this mod was built from ground-up to be expansible.

The first release of this mod focuses on the above problem. Dishes that were added via SDX and updates were added to their respective food stalls, as well as recipes from other packs (looking at you, Weddinhg Stories).

[*] indicates that the recipe module is required

City Living

Wedding Stories provided us with new Chinese and Indian recipes and, while City Living recipes were available at the Tartosa food stalls, Wedding Stories recipes were not. Additionally, the developers seemed to have missed the Vegetarian Butter Chicken recipe and the Lunar New Year SDX recipes were nonexistent.

Snow Escape came with a wide variety of Japanese recipes.  For the sake of brevity, I only added food types that are not already repesented in the menu (Maki, Onigri, Yakisoba) and a vegetarian option for one already represented (Ramen).

The Mexican food stall has some recipes from Jungle Adventures and the Latin American cuisine SDX.  As I am not Mexican, I had to do research to confirm if a recipe was in Mexican cuisine and I welcome feedback from more knowledgable Simmers.

Similarly, the Morrocan food stall has recipes from Discover University and the Arabic cuisine SDX.  I welcome feedback from anyone more knowledgeable on Moroccan cuisine.

Chinese

Chicken Stir-fry*, Minced Pork Noodles*, Rice Cake*, Steamed Fish*

Wedding Stories: Mud Carp, Roast Duck, Sweet Buns, Vegetable Dumplings

Get Together: Pita and Hummus Tapas*

Discover University: Fattoush Salad, Tabbouleh Salad, Shish Kebabs, Beef Wrap, Chicken Wrap, Falafel Wrap

Discover University

As the kebab stall seemed to be more of a pan-Arabic cuisine, I did not add the Moroccan dishes from City Living.

Kebabs

Knafeh*, Zaatar Manaeesh*

Get Together: Pita and Hummus Tapas*

Snowy Escape

City Living's selection of Japanese recipes is heavily limited in comparasion with Snowy Escape's, so there weren't many recipes added to the menu.  For consistency's sake, I only added recipes already represented on the menu.

In addition, the Festival of Light has Pufferfish Nigiri.

Traditional

City Living: Dango, Nigiri

Mountain Food

City Living: Dango, Ramen

Festival of Light

City Living: Dango, Nigiri, Pufferfish Nigiri

Jungle Adventure

The food stall for Jungle Adventure appeared to be pan-South American, so I included all the recipes from the Latin American cuisine update and the Brazilian cuisine update, including drinks.  It did not seem to include Mexican recipes, so only one recipe from City Living (Empanadas) was added.

As Sims tend to waste food when they get the "Overwhelming Flavor" buff, I suggest my Don't Waste Food mod.

Food

Acaraje*, Asado*, Brigadiero*, Chimis*, Chimichurri Skewers*, Chripan*, Churrasco*, Hallacas*, Pinchos*, Pollo a la Brasa*

City Living: Empanadas

Luxury Party: Ceviche

Drinks

Caiprinha*, Coquito*

Wedding Stories

As mentioned above, Wedding Stories stalls already integrated City Living recipes into their menu.  I only needed to add the recipes from the Lunar New Year update and the Vegetarian Butter Chicken.

Chinese

Chicken Stir-fry*, Minced Pork Noodles*, Rice Cake*, Steamed Fish*

Indian

Vegetarian Butter Chicken*

Growing Together

This one was slightly harder to choose for as it's essentially a sampling of multiple cuisines.  I didn't want to flood the menus with every regional recipe available, I decided to go with a recognizable recipe from each of these cuisines: Brazilian, Korean, Middle Eastern, and Polynesian.

I plan to update this stall continuously as EA adds more recipes.

Around the World

Aracaje*, Japchae*

28 Failed Attempts and 1 Heist Later- Chapter 1

Ao3 link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/50958199/chapters/128740585

It was obvious, if you paid attention that is, that Hobie Brown's love language towards others was Acts of Service. It's how he showed he cared. Such as when he made his own interdimensional watch to help Gwen rescue Miles and let her crash in his dimension, or when he tried to give Miles advice on his electrical powers, or even when he looked after Mayday when Peter got busy or just needed a break. Really it wasn't difficult to see that when Hobie cared about someone he tried to do things that would help them or make them happy. That's why when he finally got the bottle to confess to his best spider-mate, Pavitr Prabhakar, he decided to do a meaningful gesture to confess his fancy.

Pavitr was a bloody amazing lad in his eyes: brilliant, full of beans, incredibly strong, a real ace Spider-Man, and a right-fit bloke as well. He never seemed to let life get him down too long, always looking for a positive and keeping good humor about him. He knew when to get serious and deeply cared for his friends. When Pav had learned he didn't always have steady meals back in his dimension not only did he give Hobie an open invitation to pop in for a meal whenever he fancied but insisted on teaching him some proper Indian dishes so he could feed himself. Who wouldn't fall for a boy like that?

This led him to where he was now, in his kitchen a month before his planned confession trying to figure out how to not muck up a simple dal recipe. Masoor daal, or red lentils, was a relatively simple recipe Pav made for him before, so he thought he'd give it a go. All he really had to do was wash the lentils, fry up his aromatics, add in the lentils with water and some seasonings (Pav had stressed to him just salt and pepper was in no way enough seasoning), and cook until they reached the desired soft daal texture. Easy right? What could possibly go wrong?

-15 minutes later-

BEEEP! BEEEP! BEEEP! BEE-

Hobie frantically pushed open a window, coughing and trying to get the smoke and smell out of his kitchen. How did I even manage to burn the aromatics three seconds after putting them in? I thought oil boiled not burned! A quick consultation with the internet and the old Punjabi couple living a few blocks down revealed he should adjust the heat level and peel his ginger before use, or substitute it with ginger paste, which he decided to forgo wanting the dish to be as close to Pavi's daal as possible well there was still time to try to perfect it.

-5 days later-

On his next attempt, Hobie forgets to add the aromatics altogether and while edible the dish is rather lacking

-1 week later-

On his 12th attempt, Hobie get runs out of spices and the daal comes out just a touch too bland. He sighs to himself and resolves to acquire more before his next attempt.

-the next day-

On his 13th attempt, Hobie is reequipped with spices. Unfortunately for him, he goes a little heavy-handed with the garam masala. Even the Cheema's ( the old Punjabi couple) find it a bit difficult to choke down.

-1 lifetime later-

It is Hobie's 21st attempt and he thinks he's really got it this time. That is until his spider-hearing picks up a kerfuffle that sounds like the beginnings of a brawl. He takes glance a at the stove, telling himself he'll only be gone jiffy before swinging out the window. By the time he gets back, the daal is pitifully mushy and unappetizing.

-1 eternity later-

It is Hobie's 29th and final practice attempt before he confesses to Pavitr in three days. He finds himself saying a little prayer to the food gods that this attempt is successful. He carefully prepped his ingredients, adjusted the heat, and figured out the spice ratio and the exact cook time. All that was left to do was pray he hadn't managed to fuck up in some new way this time. Upon the taste test, Hobie nearly cries tears of joy. It was nowhere near as good as Pav made it, the cumin tasted slightly burnt, there were small chunks of garlic in it, and it was just a tad too soft but it was edible and tasted like daal, admittedly subpar daal, but daal none the less.

Hobie reveled in his victory, giggling to himself while packing some up for the Cheema's to try, the sweet couple gave him some surprisingly harsh feedback and great advice on cooking in the last month. Just as he was about to leave he got a notification on his watch, a message from Pav reminding him that the gang would be having a meet-up today "where the British stole all our stuff". Suddenly, a light bulb went off in Hobie's head. A devilish grin spread across his face. Well, now there's an idea that's more my speed.
