Dish 1: Palak Paneer

Dish 2: Chicken Karahi

Historical and Cultural origins


Dish 1

Palak paneer is a Punjab-based north Indian vegetarian curry. According to history, the first form
of paneer was created by accidentally in saddlebags during the period of the Mongol Empire. The
blazing sun would beat down on their saddlebags as the nomadic inhabitants of the Gobi rode

from one village to the next, combining the milk with the rennet lining of the saddlebags (which
was apparently manufactured from animal stomachs), causing the milk to curdle into a paneer-
like substance.

Dish 2

Chicken karahi, commonly known as chicken kadai, is a delicious dish from South Asia's north and
north-west. Chicken karahi is thought to have originated in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province,
near Pakistan's former northern border. The popularity of chicken karahi around the world is
undeniable, and it must be noted that this meal offers a number of benefits. It's easy to make and
takes only a few minutes. It's made with just one utensil and may be made in a cast iron pan or a
wok if you don't have a traditional karahi

Classical and Contemporary variations


Dish 1

Palak belongs to the Spinach family and has a mild, earthy taste. In India, Palak is known as Palak
Main. It is widely used in Northern Indian cooking. Palak is known to be a rich source of beta-
carotene, vitamin C, and Vitamin K. Palak Paneer is a type of paneer dish prepared with spinach
and flavored with aromatic spices. It is usually spicy and creamy, eaten with naan, roti or rice

Dish 2

Chicken Karahi is a traditional dish of Pakistani and Indian cuisine. The chicken is marinated with
spices, roasted on charcoal and garnished with onions and tomatoes. The dish has many
variations in Pakistan and India. The classical version of the dish is made by cooking the chicken
with whole black pepper, while the contemporary variations uses chicken tandoori masala. The
dish is very popular on social gatherings and parties

Appearance and presentation


Dish 1

Palak paneer is presented as deep yellow puree, the puree should be soft not hard. The gravy
should be thick but not runny. The paneer pieces should be in chunks. The mix of spices should be
visibly marinated to the paneer. The noodles should be long and thin. The garnishing should be
red onions, green coriander and some mint leaves.

Dish 2

Chicken curry should appear and be presented with a tinge of gold, with hints of green and red. A
thick, hand-cut, roti (Indian flatbread) or naan should be served on the side. The portion should be
enough to fill a customer up without feeling heavy. Chicken pieces should be slightly soft, but not
too dry. The curry should be thick, spicy and tasty.

RTO No: 45511 | CRICOS No: 03773G
Email: info@veta.qld.edu.au
Freshness indicators
Dish 1

Fresh spinach should look bright green, with tender, tightly packed leaves. Avoid buying spinach
with wilted or yellowed leaves. The leaves should be free of brown spots. Paneer should not be
bitter and should have a pleasant flavour. The paneer should have a clean, dirt-free appearance.
The paneer should have a spongy texture and be devoid of water.

Dish 2

A pinkish colour is ideal for fresh chicken. Avoid visible flaws such as bruises or holes in the skin,
which can detract from the flavour and freshness of the chicken. Chicken should also be plump,
with meat that retains its shape after being rubbed against it for a few seconds. Onions are solid
and smooth when they are fresh. Squishy or slimy onions and other vegetables are a sure sign
that they are starting to rot. Finally, fresh onions have an onion odour, whereas rotting onions
have a nasty or rotten bad odor

Three quality indicators for each dish.

Dish 1

The first one is that the color of the dish should be green

The second one is the presence of spinach leaves in the dish.

The third one is that the dish should have a bit of a sour taste.

Dish 2

The first quality indicator is the texture. The texture is the most important part of any dish.

The second quality indicator is blending of the flavors.

Lastly, the last quality indicator are the spices used.

RTO No: 45511 | CRICOS No: 03773G
Email: info@veta.qld.edu.au
Service style
Dish 1

The best suited service style for palak paneer is a la carte because this dish is ordered individually.

Dish 2

The chicken curry dish is best suited to table d’hote service. As this dish is a multi-dish meal, the
customer will expect to be served the meal from the waiter. The customer will also expect a
waiter to clear their plates once the customer has finished the meal. Therefore, the chicken curry
dish is best suited to table d’hote service

Taste profile
Dish 1

Palak paneer has a distinct taste of spinach. It is simply delicious. It is savory, sweet and spicy. To
enjoy Palak paneer at it's best, we always recommend that you try it with hot, fresh naan - the
hot, crispy bread that comes with every Indian meal.

Dish 2

The blend of sweet and savoury spices that make up chicken curry give it a distinct taste and
flavour. Due to spices like turmeric, which also gives it its colour, chicken curry has a rich earthy
flavour. The deep earthy flavour is complemented by a sprinkling of brightness and vigour

Texture profile
Dish 1

Palak paneer is a popular vegetarian Indian dish made with spinach, paneer (an Indian cottage
cheese) and spices. The texture of spinach is crunchy while paneer is soft, which makes the
texture of palak paneer dish a little crunchy and soft.

Dish 2

The chicken curry has a smooth and creamy texture with a hint of spiciness. The chicken curry can
be eaten with plain rice, chapattis, and naan. The chicken curry dish can be easily prepared in a
crock pot, slow cooker, pressure cooker, or in an oven.
