Paneer with Vegetables

This is one recipe I have invented to make my children eat vegetables. My garden is full of vegetables like Radish, Tomatoes, Beans, Capsicum, Cabbage, Carrot, Cauliflower, Broccoli etc apart from the herbs like Lettuce, Spinach, Mustard greens ... during the Winter months.  And I am always looking for ideas to make the vegetable dishes look attractive as well as delicious.
This is one recipe which does not require much time or effort, yet healthy and tasty.

Ingredients:

1. Finely chopped :
    1. Ginger
    2. Garlic
    3. Green Chilly to taste (may replace with Pepper powder)
2. Paneer
3. Vegetables cut into big pieces (Veg of your choice)
4. Onion, big slices
5. Refined oil
6. Soya sauce, a little
7. Salt to taste
8. Corn flour
9. Water

Method:
Heat oil and saute` chopped Ginger+Garlic+Chilly+Onion on medium heat.
Do not brown, fry just a little. Add the vegetables and salt, saute` for some more time. Add those vegetables before which take longer to cook, like Cauliflower. Carrot and Capsicum may be added later once the Cauliflower is half done.
Add water and cook covered. Make sure the vegetables are not over cooked.
Add Paneer when vegetables are half cooked. Reduce heat to low.
Mix Corn flour with cold water and add to the curry along with Soy sauce. Check salt.
Gravy should be thick. Do not cook too long after adding Paneer as that will harden the Paneer.

Delicious Paneer with Vegetable is ready. Best served with Vegetable Fried Rice.
