A new week comes with so many things to do that I try to figure out the menu plan over the weekend and be tension free from that side of my daily chores. I am really overwhelmed with your responses to our last weekly menu plans, thank you, ladies, it is wonderful to know that I am of any help.
This week too like any other week I have tried to incorporate vegetables, pulses, proteins, and carbs in each of my dinner meals to provide proper nutrition to my family. Let’s begin.
Monday Dinner Plan
MEAL: Punjabi Aloo Pyaz Sabzi, langar wali dal, roti, salad
A hearty wholesome and healthy meal for everyone. These types of meals are perfect for a winter dinner.
Meal Prep: I chop vegetables beforehand during the weekend and keep them is airtight containers in the fridge.
Tuesday Dinner Plan
MEAL: Multani chole, Steamed Rice( Chawal), plain curd, Green salad
On Tuesday, it can be this chickpeas curry you can with rice or roti. Multani choley is definitely on the card this week. Infused with aromatic and rich spices, and big on flavours.
Meal Prep: Soak chana/Chickpeas the previous night and set the curd/yogurt. I prefer to soak and boil chickpeas during the weekend. Or you can use rinsed canned chickpeas.
Wednesday Dinner Plan
MEAL: Matar mushroom, dal fry, roti or Veggie Fried Rice
A balanced meal of Dal fry, Matar mushroom and veggie fried rice, if you have leftover rice, is comforting as well as a nourishing dinner.
Meal Prep: If you have prepared Indian bhuna masala and Tomato Onion masala over the weekend. This meal comes together in 30-40 minutes.
Thursday Dinner Plan
MEAL: Soya curry, Aloo Palak Khatti Sabzi, Beetroot Raita, roti.
Soya Keema curry made from soya granules is super easy to cook and taste amazing. Soya granules are rich in protein and you need minimal ingredients and effort. Pair it with any raita to make a complete meal.
Meal Prep: Keep cleaned and chopped Spinach in the fridge. Alternatively, you can use frozen spinach to make aloo palak. If you have Tomato Onion masala it becomes easier to cook soya keema quickly.
Friday Dinner Plan
MEAL: Kala chana pulao, papad ki sabzi, Spinach raita
We prefer to have some snacks and appetisers with a few drinks before dinner. One-pot dinners make so much sense on Friday because these are easy to cook and there is not much hassle in serving and cleaning later.
Saturday Dinner Plan
MEAL: Butter Paneer, Laccha paratha, sirka pyaz
This week I am going to make Butter Paneer and Laccha paratha for a proper dhaba style meal.
Meal Prep: You can make this makhani gravy paste over the weekend. If you want you can make butter chicken using this same makhani gravy.
Sunday Dinner Plan
MEAL: Egg Biryani, Cucumber Raita, and Bhuna Papad
Take it easy with another one-pot meal or you can simply order a homestyle takeout.
