Roti \ Chappati Roll with Veggie Paneer Fry

Hi Friends....after a long break. !!!!! Summer vacation got over in homeland and back home.  Have so many traditional recipes in store to post...So you will be seeing those slowly in our blog this month.. Well, cooking has slowly started  at home here and made a quick chappathi \ roti roll for us on a lazy Friday night. It was delicious, filling, tastier with a side of greek yogurt cup. This time, I used the ready made chappathis available at our local Indian store

Lots of  home grown tomatoes, zucchinis, squash were given to us by our kind neighbours. To make use of those ones with some extra veggies and paneer , I decided to make this easier roll..

You can add any vegetables of your choice to this simple fry...With some mild seasoning, this veggie paneer fry is definitely a kids choice..for any time of the day.

Ingredients
Chappathi \ Roti -  Few
Olive Oil - 2 tbsp
Turmeric Powder - 2 teaspoon
Jeera ( Cumin) - 2 tsp
Garam Masala Powder - 1\2 tbsp
Red Chilli Powder - 1 teaspoon
Salt - To Taste
Sugar - a small pinch
Coriander Leaves  -  1 Handful
Vegetables
Tomato - 1
Potato - 1
Beans - 8 or 10 big ones
Carrot - 1 medium
Peas  - 1 Handful
Cauliflower -  12 small florets
White Onion - 1 Medium
Capsicum - 1\2  medium
Zucchini - 1 medium
Paneer Cubes - 15 to 20 medium cubes.
Procedure
  1. Wash all the vegetables thoroughly and cut them into medium cubes and keep aside. Cut the panner into medium cubes and keep them ready.
  2. On medium heat, add olive oil into the thick bottomed kadai. When oil gets heated up, add jeera first. When it sputters, then add onions, capsicum one by one and shallow fry them. Add turmeric powder and a pinch of sugar and little salt for them to cook quickly.
  3. Slowly add all other veggies into the kadai and stir them nicely. Sprinkle some water and let them cook on low flame for few minutes.
  4. After its cooked to a desired level, open the lid and all other seasoning powders to the kadai. Add required amount of salt to the mixture and stir the veggie mix thoroughly.
  5. Add the paneer cubes into the kadai now and stir carefully without breaking the paneer cubes.
  6. Keep the lid open and let the veggie paneer mix coated with the seasoned powders get fried on medium flame for few minutes.
  7. Occasionally stir the contents so that they get fried uniformly.
  8. After its done, switch off the flame. Garnish the dish with the crushed coriander leaves..Now the veggie paneer mix is ready.
  9. Make a hot chappathi \ roti and keep 3-4 tbsp of the veggie paneer dish into the center of the chappathi, roll it perfectly and serve with a side of greek yogurt. A complete healthy meal is done very quickly with less efforts.
Variations
You can add any vegetables of your choice but not watery ones as they might spoil the fry.
Tips
Don't fry the paneer separately.  Add them to the veggie mix and coat them with the seasoning. Let the paneer get fried along with the veggies in the kadai itself.
