Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high until it shimmers, about 1 minute.
Step 2
Toss paneer cubes with turmeric and a pinch of salt, then add to the pan in a single layer.
Step 3
Sear paneer without stirring until golden on all sides, about 6 minutes total, flipping once halfway.
Step 4
Push paneer to the side, add carrots, cabbage, onions, and green chilies to the empty space.
Step 5
Toss vegetables with a pinch of salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until cabbage wilts and carrots are tender-crisp, 4 minutes.
Step 6
Serve the paneer and vegetables hot, with a squeeze of lemon if you have it.
