Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high until it shimmers, about 1 minute.

  2. Step 2

    Toss paneer cubes with turmeric and a pinch of salt, then add to the pan in a single layer.

  3. Step 3

    Sear paneer without stirring until golden on all sides, about 6 minutes total, flipping once halfway.

  4. Step 4

    Push paneer to the side, add carrots, cabbage, onions, and green chilies to the empty space.

  5. Step 5

    Toss vegetables with a pinch of salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until cabbage wilts and carrots are tender-crisp, 4 minutes.

  6. Step 6

    Serve the paneer and vegetables hot, with a squeeze of lemon if you have it.
