Paneer, Vegetarian Protein Source

As a vegetarian, paneer, Indian cottage cheese, is an excellent protein source. We love to include paneer in our regular meal. This Poha paneer is a popular breakfast at home. Both my kids love this simple breakfast, which gets done in minutes.

My lil one was very reluctant to try paneer for some time. It took some time for him to jump into the bandwagon. This delicious Indochinese Paneer chilli is his favorite.

Please check recipe card below for exact measurements of each ingredient used and also for the detailed instructions.

Wash and chop the tomatoes and ginger. In a heavy bottom pan, heat oil, crackle cumin, next add the chopped tomatoes, chilies and ginger and saute.
After 5 minutes of sauteing, add crushed coriander seeds and cashewnuts to this and ½ cup water. Let this cook until tomatoes turn soft.

Once the tomatoes turn soft, turn off the stove and blend this to puree. I used a stick blender, so blended it straight in the pan, if using a jar blender, please wait until it cools down completely.

Heat the blended puree, to this add turmeric powder, red chili powder, salt and garam masala powder. Let this come to a boil, now add the corn and paneer cubes to this.

Let this cook until the rawness of the masala disappears and the gravy reaches a saucy consistency.

Finally add coriander leaves, turn off the heat, garnish with dried fenugreek leaves/kasuri methi.

Serve this delicious paneer and corn subzi with soft roti or phulkas.
