Spicy Paneer and Soya Chunk 'Pepper Fry' with Garlicky Sprouted Lobia and Spinach — a fitness-focused recipe with full nutritional breakdown.
The Preparation
Step 1
In a mixing bowl, toss the paneer cubes and rehydrated soya chunks with turmeric, half of the ground black pepper, and a pinch of salt. Let it sit for 10 minutes.
Step 2
Heat ghee in a heavy-bottomed pan or kadhai. Add cumin seeds and curry leaves; let them crackle and release their aroma.
Step 3
Add the sliced onions and sauté until they turn translucent and slightly golden. Stir in the ginger-garlic paste and cook for another 2 minutes until the raw smell disappears.
Step 4
Add the marinated paneer and soya chunks to the pan. Cook on medium-high heat for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they develop a smoky, golden-brown exterior.
Step 5
Incorporate the steamed sprouted lobia and the chopped spinach into the pan. Stir well to combine.
Step 6
Sprinkle the remaining black pepper and garam masala over the mixture. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the spinach has wilted and the spices are evenly coated.
Step 7
Turn off the heat, squeeze fresh lemon juice over the dish, and garnish with fresh coriander.
Step 8
Serve hot as a standalone high-protein meal or with a side of brown rice or ragi roti.
