• Cooking methi dal with fresh fenugreek leaves and proper tempering
• Blending tomato‑basil soup to a smooth consistency
• Marinating and grilling paneer without over‑cooking

Chef Tips from the Video

• Toast the mixed nuts lightly on a dry skillet to enhance their aroma.
• Use freshly squeezed lemon juice for the morning drink; bottled juice loses enzymes.
• Add a few fresh basil leaves as garnish to the soup for extra flavor and visual appeal.
• If you prefer a vegan version, replace paneer with firm tofu and use plant‑based milk.

Troubleshooting

Storage

Freezer: Portion the soup and dal into freezer‑safe bags; keep for up to 1 month.

• Cook a large batch of toor dal and keep refrigerated; reheat portions as needed.
• Marinate paneer the night before for deeper flavor.
• Portion mixed nuts into 20 g servings for quick grab‑and‑go snacks.
