Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Low-fat paneer
- 1 medium Red bell pepper
- 1 medium Green bell pepper
- 1 large Carrot
- 100 grams Broccoli florets
- 2 teaspoons Olive oil
- 2 large Garlic cloves
- 1 inch piece Ginger
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Red chili flakes
- 2 stalks Spring onions
- 2 tablespoons Cilantro
Instructions
Begin by preparing the ingredients. Slice the red and green bell peppers into thin strips. Peel the carrot and cut it into thin julienne strips. Separate the broccoli into small florets. Mince the garlic and ginger. Slice the spring onions and chop the cilantro for garnish.
Cut the low-fat paneer into bite-sized cubes. If it's fresh, you may want to press it gently with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
Heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the paneer cubes and sauté for 3-4 minutes until they are golden brown on all sides. Remove the paneer from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add another teaspoon of olive oil. Toss in the minced garlic and ginger, and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the sliced red and green bell peppers, carrot julienne, and broccoli florets to the skillet. Stir fry the vegetables for 4-5 minutes, keeping them crisp but tender.
Pour the soy sauce over the vegetables, and add the salt, black pepper, and red chili flakes. Stir to ensure the vegetables are evenly coated.
Return the sautéed paneer cubes to the skillet and gently toss everything together. Squeeze lemon juice over the stir fry, and mix well.
Finally, sprinkle sliced spring onions and chopped cilantro over the dish. Give it a final toss, and turn off the heat.
Serve the Low Fat Paneer Stir Fry hot, either as a standalone dish or as a side with rice or roti.
