Ingredients
- 1 cup paneer
- ¼ cup carrot
- ¼ cup capsicum
- ¼ cup onion
- 1 teaspoon red chilli powder
- ½ teaspoon garam masala powder
- ¼ teaspoon jeera powder
- 1 teaspoon kasoori methi
- salt to taste
To temper:
- 2 teaspoon oil
- 1 teaspoon jeera
- 1 teaspoon garlic crushed
Instructions
- Heat oil in a pan, add jeera let it crackle.
- Now add crushed garlic. I used my garlic press to crush garlic.
- Saute for a minute. Get ready with all other ingredients.
- Now add onion sauté till it turns translucent.
- Add carrot and capsicum sauté for 2mins, then add the spice powders including red chilli powder, jeera powder, garam masala powder and required salt.
- Sauté for 5mins in low flame. I wanted the veggies to be crunchy so did not cook covered, if you want it to be soft then cook covered for 2mins.
- Finally add paneer toss it.
- Cook for few more mins, then add crushed kasoori methi, toss and switch off. Enjoy Paneer Stir Fry!
Notes
- Paneer – I add paneer at the last and toss gently. I usually do it very carefully. If you stir too much it may break or crumble and turn messy.
- Veggie crunch – I usually do not cook veggies covered. This helps to keep them crunchy and fresh tasting, which I like.
- Flame control – I cook in low to medium flame after adding spices. Else spices may burn fast.
- Kasoori methi – I crush kasoori methi well before adding. It releases more aroma and gives better flavor.
- Oil quantity – Do not add too much oil for this stir fry. Little oil is enough as paneer releases some moisture while cooking.
