Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup chickpeas, cooked
- 200 grams paneer, cubed
- 1 medium green bell pepper, diced
- 1 medium carrot, sliced
- 100 grams green beans, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
- 0.5 cup green peas, shelled
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 medium tomato, chopped
- 1 tablespoon ginger-garlic paste
- 0.5 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 0.5 teaspoon red chili powder
- 1 teaspoon coriander powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon garam masala
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
Instructions
Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the cumin seeds and let them splutter for a few seconds.
Add the finely chopped onion and sauté until they turn golden brown.
Stir in 1 tablespoon of ginger-garlic paste and fry for another minute until the raw smell disappears.
Add the chopped tomatoes and cook until they become soft and start releasing oil, around 5 minutes.
Mix in the turmeric, red chili powder, and coriander powder. Stir well to incorporate the spices.
Add the cubed paneer and gently sauté for a couple of minutes to lightly brown the edges.
Add the chickpeas to the pan and combine with the spice mixture.
Add the diced green bell pepper, sliced carrot, green beans, and shelled peas. Stir well to mix the vegetables with the masala.
Season with salt and pour in a little water (around 1/4 cup) to help cook the vegetables evenly.
Cover the pan and let the sabzi simmer on medium-low heat for 10-15 minutes or until the vegetables are cooked to your desired tenderness.
Sprinkle 0.5 teaspoon of garam masala over the sabzi and mix well.
Garnish the sabzi with freshly chopped cilantro before serving.
Serve the high protein mixed vegetable sabzi hot with steamed rice or rotis.
