Stir Fried Mushrooms & Paneer

Stir fried veggies is the easiest recipes I guess. I usually make this when I’m not in a mood to cook. Just add bit oil, add together the veggies, spices & salt to taste…..What a cushy job!

Most of the Chinese recipes are stir fried such as stir fried string beans, broccoli, mushrooms, eggplants, noodles etc. I love them even if they are bland in taste, but spice is essential in whatever I cook.  This time my choice was button mushrooms and paneer. Both goes well for stir fried & because of its soft texture, it hardly takes time to cook….. 

The recipe goes this way 

• Mushrooms – a packet which consist of 12 to 15 mushrooms
• Paneer- 10 to 15 cubes
• Tomatoes- 1 big diced
• Green chilies – 4 to 5
• Coriander leaves to garnish
• Jeera to splutter
• Red chilly powder – 1 tsp
• Turmeric powder- ½ tsp
• Tandoori masala – 1 tsp
• Oil as required
• Salt as required 

Method 

• Heat oil in a pan & add jeera to splutter

• Add sliced mushrooms and paneer to it

• Toss it for a while till the paneer turns light brownish. Do not constantly stir with spatula as there is a tendency to break up the paneer cubes.

• Add all the spice powders to it & toss for another 2 minutes.

• Add diced tomatoes and green chilies at this stage.

• Simmer it for a while till the tomatoes are soft & well bended with mushrooms.

• The whole cooking is done on slow to medium flame.

As Tandoori masala is added it gives a grilled taste.
