How to Make Stir Fried Paneer With Veggies Paneer Burji

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large saucepan or wok over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of garlic paste and sauté for 30 seconds, being careful not to brown the garlic.
  2. Add 1 medium onion, chopped, and 1 bell pepper (any color), chopped. Sauté for 5-10 minutes, or until the onions become translucent.
