METHOD · 3 STEPS

1
Sauté the aromatics and tomato base
- Heat oil in a wide saute pan over medium heat.
- Add cumin seeds; once they sizzle, add onion and saute 3 minutes until soft and translucent.
- Stir in ginger, garlic, and tomato; cook 2 minutes until tomato breaks down.
TIPEnsure the onions are translucent but not browned to keep the vegetable colors vibrant.
2
Simmer the seasonal vegetables until tender
- Add potato, cauliflower, carrots, and green beans along with turmeric, red chili powder, coriander powder, and salt.
- Pour in water, cover, and cook on low 10 minutes, stirring twice.
- Add green peas and cook uncovered 3 minutes more so excess moisture evaporates and vegetables stay distinct.
TIPCut the potatoes and carrots into smaller pieces than the cauliflower to ensure they cook at the same rate.
3
Fold in paneer and finish with fresh herbs
- Switch to low heat. Add paneer cubes and garam masala; stir gently for 1 minute so paneer warms without breaking.
- Switch off heat, stir in lemon juice and cilantro, and serve.

3
Soak paneer cubes in warm water for 10 minutes before adding to keep them exceptionally soft.
4
Adjust the red chili powder based on your heat tolerance; the dish is intended to be mild and savory.
