Plan, Prep, & Cook this Entire Meal, Serves 4 - 5

The focus for this video is on menu planning, meal prep, and cooking one entire meal. For those of you who have not been cooking Indian food for too long, this may be quite challenging. Mastering an individual dish is relatively easy. Many of you have indicated this to me and hence this video.

I have chosen to make an elaborate meal serving 4 – 5 people rather than just a simple one serving 1 or 2. I think this would better highlight the aspects to be considered.
Paneer in Cashew gravy, Beetroot & Spinach Paratha, Spicy Green Beans Sabzi, Bottle gourd Raita

While the focus is on the planning and sequencing, I think you all will find the individual dishes quite delicious too.
The Paneer in Cashew gravy is a good change from the usual Paneer Butter Masala and Palak Paneer, and just as mouth-watering.
The Spinach and Beetroot Parathas can grace a special dinner menu or an everyday meal, and just as easily make a good wholesome snack.
The Green Beans Sabzi and Bottle Gourd Raita are good accompaniments to any everyday or special occasion meal.

I am starting from scratch in this process. Nothing is pre-cut or chopped. I do however, use spinach and beetroot pastes that I have made earlier and stored in my freezer.

The recipes of all the dishes are in the pinned comment
