Stir fry vegetables with tofu, soya or paneer make a quick and tasty meal when you are in a hurry.

What is Paneer? Paneer is an Indian Cheese made by curdling milk with something acidic like lemon juice or yogurt to hot milk. The curds and whey are then separated by tying the mixture in a muslin cloth. The soft cheese is then pressed, in the cloth, between two weights for a couple of hours and then cut into cubes. My recipe for making paneer is here. Paneer is available in most Supermarkets in the cheese isle. Paneer can be used in lots of Indian recipes – the most popular one is mutter paneer or paneer cooked with other vegetables.
