Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams Paneer
- 2 tablespoons Corn flour
- 2 tablespoons Plain yogurt
- 1 teaspoon Ginger-garlic paste
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Cumin powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper powder
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 medium Capsicum, sliced
- 1 medium Onion, sliced
- 1 medium Tomato, sliced
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh coriander leaves, chopped
Instructions
Cut the paneer into small cubes and set aside.
In a mixing bowl, combine corn flour, plain yogurt, ginger-garlic paste, turmeric powder, red chili powder, cumin powder, black pepper powder, and lemon juice. Mix everything well to form a smooth marinade.
Add the paneer cubes to the marinade and toss gently to coat each piece evenly. Let this marinate for about 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a non-stick frying pan over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, gently place the paneer cubes into the pan. Cook each side for 3-4 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Remove the paneer from the pan and set aside.
In the same pan, add sliced capsicum, onion, and tomato. Stir fry the vegetables for 5-7 minutes or until they become slightly soft but retain a crunchy texture.
Return the fried paneer cubes to the pan and mix with the sautéed vegetables. Cook for another 2 minutes, ensuring everything is well-combined and heated through.
Garnish the paneer with fresh coriander leaves before serving. Enjoy this low sodium paneer fried dish hot as an appetizer or a light meal.
