Paneer Stir Fry

This Dish just came by fluke & turned out to be quite nice.My husband had started dieting a few months back & I had to pack lunch for him everyday. It was getting quite repetitive,so I started thinking of introducing a change once in a while,as also keep it healthy. Though Paneer is high in calories, I thought once in a while its fine & also by using minimal oil & stuffing it iin Sukha(oil free) Chappatis.
Here goes my recipe:

Ingredients!

1.Paneer-200g(cut into long strips)
2.Onions- 1 big(sliced finely)
3.Carrot-1 big(finely Juliened)
4.capsicum-1 med(finely Juliened)
5.Jeera-1/2 tbs
6.Ajwain-1/2 tbs
7.mustard-1/2 tbs
7.Oil-2-3 tbs
8.Black Jeera-1/2 tbs
9.Salt to taste
10.Red chilli powder -to taste
11.Haldi-a pinch
12.Garam masala- a pinch

Procedure:

Take oil in a Kadai or a  hard bottomed vessel. Once the oil ges hot,add the mustard,jeera,ajwain & black jeera to it.Once they start sputtering,add the sliced oninons & saue them until they start changing their colour. Then add the other vegetables ie carrots & capsicum & saute these for some time until they are a little crisp. Finally add the cut paneer. Then add salt,red chilli powder,haldi & garam masala. Mix all these slowly ensuring the paneer pieces dont break.Keep them covered for 5 mins & keep stirring in between. Then switch off the flame & keep it covered for another 10 mins. When you are ready to serve add some chopped coriander leaves for garnish. You can place this inside a Roti & roll it up & eat.Its a good option for takeouts for picnics,lunch etc.
Hope you guys enjoy it when you make it.:)
