Methi Paneer Stir Fry


          Tried this very popular Methi Paneer in a different style. Made it dry to be relished as a side dish with chapatti or any Indian bread. It turned out real yummy. Very simple and an easy dish to prepare, it can be made in a jiffy. 

          This amazing combination of the bitterness from the fresh fenugreek leaves and the sweetness from the paneer (cottage cheese) does wonders to this simple delicacy. So do give it a try by checking out the step by step pictorial recipe to prepare this healthy winter special.

  • 1 tsp. ginger, chopped
  • 2 green chilies, chopped
  • salt to taste
  • 1/2 tsp. turmeric powder
  • 1 tsp. cumin powder
  • 1 tsp. coriander powder





          Heat 1 tbsp. oil in a pan and shallow fry the paneer cubes slightly. Drain and keep aside.
