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 over cook veggies. This is the reason I have not cooked covered, this helps to keep them crunchy and fresh tasting, which I like. You can add carrots, mushroom or any other vegetables you like.
- Flame control – I cook in high while sauteing vegetables. Keep flame in low to medium while adding spice powders to avoid burning.
- Kasoori methi – I crush kasoori methi well before adding. It releases more aroma and gives better flavor.
- Oil – Do not add too much oil for this stir fry. Little oil is enough as veggies and paneer releases some moisture while cooking. But do not make the stir fry too dry, it should be moist.
