Grilled Paneer with Sautéed Veggies is a wholesome dish of marinated paneer cubes grilled until smoky and golden, paired with lightly sautéed seasonal vegetables. It’s flavourful, nutritious, and works as a light meal or appetiser.
This dish combines the protein richness of paneer with the goodness of colourful vegetables. Paneer cubes are marinated in yogurt, spices, and lemon juice, then grilled on a pan, tawa, or oven until charred and smoky. The sautéed veggies — like bell peppers, zucchini, broccoli, and carrots — are lightly tossed with olive oil, garlic, and herbs to retain crunch and nutrients.
Together, the grilled paneer and veggies make a balanced plate that’s high in protein, fibre, and vitamins, while being low in carbs. It can be served as a healthy appetiser, a light dinner with roti or rice, or even as part of a salad bowl. Easily adaptable, this dish can also be made vegan by swapping paneer with tofu.
