Vegetables
- 1/2 cup Onion diced
- 1/2 cup Bell Peppers diced
- 1/2 cup Carrot diced
- 1/2 cup Bell Peppers diced
- 1/2 cup Baby Corn
- 1/2 cup Broccoli
- 1/2 cup Cabbage diced
Sauce
- 1 Tbsp Tomato Sauce
- 1/2 Tbsp Soy Sauce
- 1/2 Tbsp Corn Flour
- 1/2 Tbsp Chili Paneer Masala ching's miracle chili paneer masala (optional, for enhanced flavor)
- 1 Tbsp Olive Oil
- 1 tsp Pepper black, crushed
- Salt to taste
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.
