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

Directions

Step 1

Cut the paneer into small cubes and set aside.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a non-stick frying pan over medium heat.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

Garnish the paneer with fresh coriander leaves before serving. Enjoy this low sodium paneer fried dish hot as an appetizer or a light meal.
