Instructions
 

  • Heat the olive oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Add the chopped garlic and sliced green chilies. Sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  • Add the diced onions and white parts of the scallions. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until the onions are softened and translucent.
  • Add the harder vegetables first: carrots, baby corn, broccoli, bell peppers, and capsicum. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until they begin to soften.
  • Add the cabbage, crushed black pepper, and salt. Continue to stir-fry for another 2-3 minutes.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the tomato sauce, soy sauce, cornstarch, and chili paneer masala (if using) with 1 cup of water. This creates a slurry that will thicken the sauce.
  • Pour the sauce mixture over the vegetables. Stir well to coat. Cook for 4-5 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened and the vegetables are cooked through but still crisp-tender.
  • Garnish with the green parts of the scallions. Serve hot with steamed rice or fried rice.

Recipe Notes

Expert Tips

  • For a richer flavor, roast the vegetables before adding them to the paneer. This will enhance their natural sweetness and create a deeper, more complex taste.
  • Adjust the amount of spices to your liking. If you prefer a milder dish, reduce the amount of chili powder. For a spicier kick, add more or consider using a hotter variety of chili.
  • Don't overcook the paneer. Paneer can become tough if overcooked, so be sure to add it towards the end of the cooking process and just cook until heated through.

Storage Instructions

  • Store leftover paneer and vegetables in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat gently in a microwave or on the stovetop over low heat, adding a splash of water or milk to prevent sticking and dryness.
