A very simple and tasty Indian dish is dhingri mutter – which is simply Mushroom and green peas.
So what’s special or different in this recipe? This dish is enriched with a heaping scoop (or two!) of almond flour. The difference it made was simply superb.
👉 It made the dish creamy without adding any unnecessary fat
👉 It gave it a very unique texture
👉 To top it all, it instantly added more protein ‘power’ to this dish
A WIN-WIN-WIN situation 🤪
Very simple and straightforward flavors – I only used ginger to keep that as the leading aromatic. Saute some onions, bring in a good bit of heat and finish off with plenty of cilantro (coriander leaves). Thats all!
Serve it with a simple cucumber salad and warm bread.
Make sure you prepare a large batch, this dish will be gone in seconds!
