Kadhai Paneer| Light

This is my twist on traditional kadhai paneer without compromising the taste but with less oil and the same joy to eat.

Nutritional Value

The light Kadhai Paneer is a vegetarian dish and has much less oil and just 500 kcal for the whole dish serving five.

Ingredients

Capsicum - 500 gms- chopped 

Paneer/Cottage cheese- 200 gms- chopped

Onion- 1 big chopped

Garlic- 8 pods chopped

Tomato- 1 big chopped

Oil- 1 and a half tbsp

Salt- 1 tsp

Spices-  I tsp each of turmeric, coriander, and garam masala.

Method

Take a big wok/kadhai and heat it with the oil add first the chopped capsicum and fry in high flame for two minutes then lower the flame and cook for around five minutes.

Then add onion, cook for another five minutes, and stir it in every 1 minute.

Add chopped garlic, tomato and paneer to it and stir and cook for another five minutes.

Don't cover and cook at any stage otherwise, the dish will be soggy, keep stirring in between to keep the shape of the veggies. Add the spices and salt and cook on a medium flame for another 2 to three minutes until everything comes together.

It takes around 20 minutes from start to finish to cook the light Kadhai Paneer. Serve the dish with chapati or rice and dal.

Enjoy!
