Dental visits, scary?! Naah, Not anymore!

I booked an appointment with Clove dental clinic (HSR, Sector 6)
couple of days back for a normal teeth cleaning procedure since I had been procrastinating this visit since eternity.
Doctor Parul Saxena did the procedure. So why am I writing about a normal dentist visit?! That’s because, after a long long time I finally got a feel of US healthcare, they way treat patients, the way explain the procedure and the entire rigmarole.

After returning from US, I was really not happy with Indian doctors behavior in general towards patients. They might be the best in the world, but when it comes to treating a patient with care and concern and not like a body, they have some learning to do.

But I got a pleasant surprise today, in the form of Dr. Parul! She was like a breath of fresh air, she explained the entire procedure elaborately while treating me with lot of respect and care. She was meticulous in her preparedness and approach. She also found out that there was a tiny cavity in one of my molars and proceeded to do the filling, while explaining the details of the process at each step. Even described the composition of the composite used for filling! I have seen only US based (Indian or otherwise) doctors do that. Such kind of extraordinary behavior and approach towards one s profession is really exemplary. I remember, once in US, I had to undergo a surgery and the anaesthesiologist described the process of anaesthesia administration in such details, even down to the exact minute when I will become drowsy!

So today I was completely bowled over with the entire experience. I would definitely recommend Doc.Parul to one and all. A very positive personality, smiling candid demeanour and finesse in her work. Wt more does one need in a doctor!! So no more scary dental visits!! Atleast for me!!

How to make some amazing Chilly Paneer?!

Although I consider myself a Masterchef, I do take inspiration from just about anywhere to hone my culinary skills. Recently I came across a very simple recipe for Chilly Paneer. It tasted absolutely delicious, so thought of sharing with all of you.

Take two blocks of Paneer and cut it evenly into bite sized cubes. Season it with salt and pepper. Add two tablespoons of freshly ground ginger garlic paste. (Note, freshly ground, and not bottled one. Yes, that's one of the secrets behind the taste). To this, add 5 tablespoons of Amul fresh cream (Be generous). Mix it properly and let it rest for an hour in fridge.

Take a deep pan with some refined oil for frying the Paneer cubes. Fry the cubes till golden brown and keep it aside. In another pan, fry some finely chopped ginger garlic, spring onions, normal onions, capsicum. Add ketchup and soya sauce. Ensure the normal onion and capsicum is chopped roughly in big square pieces. Once the above mixture is cooked, add the fried paneer and garnish it with plenty of freshly chopped coriander leaves.

Thats it. Your Chilly Paneer is ready. Isn't it quite simple?! Enjoy!
