Step-by-Step Instructions

1. 1.Prepare and Wash Vegetables

   Peel and cut 1 carrot into long strips. Trim and cut 5-6 beans into halves. Cut 1 green capsicum into large chunks. Separate 1 bowl of broccoli into florets. Wash all cut vegetables thoroughly.

2. 2.Cut Paneer

   Cut 200 gms of paneer into medium-sized cubes.

3. 3.Steam Vegetables

   Place a steamer basket in a pot with water. Add the cut carrots, beans, and broccoli to the steamer. Cover and steam for 1-2 minutes until the vegetables are about 80% cooked and still slightly firm.

4. 4.Sauté Aromatics

   Heat 1 tbsp of butter in a frying pan over medium-high flame. Add 1 tbsp of chopped garlic and sauté until fragrant. Add 1 chopped onion and sauté for 30-40 seconds until slightly softened.

5. 5.Add Capsicum and Steamed Vegetables

   Add 1 cup of chopped green capsicum to the pan and stir-fry for a few seconds. Then, add the steamed carrots, beans, and broccoli. Cook on high flame for 1 minute, tossing frequently.

6. 6.Incorporate Paneer and Seasonings

   Add the paneer cubes to the pan. Season with 1 tsp of salt, 1 tsp of black pepper, 1/2 tsp of chili flakes (optional), and 1 tsp of oregano. Gently mix everything together.

7. 7.Add Sauce and Finish Stir Fry

   Add 1 tbsp of water and 1 tsp of soy sauce to the pan. In a small bowl, mix 1/4 tsp of cornflour with a little water to create a slurry, then add it to the vegetables. Stir in 1/2 tsp of sugar. Cook the vegetables and paneer for 1 minute on a low flame, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly. Finally, sprinkle 1 tsp of roasted sesame seeds and mix well. Turn off the gas.

8. 8.Prepare Toasted Bread (Optional)

   Slice bread into desired portions. In the same frying pan (or a separate one), add a little butter. Toast the bread slices until golden brown on both sides. Sprinkle a little black pepper, oregano, and chili flakes on top of the toasted bread.

9. 9.Serve

   Serve the hot vegetable paneer stir-fry immediately with the toasted bread.
