Bhindi Methi Paneer Stir Fry
How many of you are methi leaves fan? I simply love it in any form; be it methi parathas or methi aalu subzi or methi pulao. I even love adding a handful of methi leaves to any subzi. But usually most of us would be using it in parathas or with aalu or matar. How about making a simple methi stir fry with
some ladies fingers and few pieces of paneer. Trust me, it’s a brilliant combination. Tastes awesome with phulkas or dal chawal.
Saute the ladies finger in a frying pan or kadhai till they are almost crisp. However, do not overcook the methi leaves. Add the paneer pieces and chopped tomatoes. Toss well and serve immediately. Try out my other ladies finger varieties like the vendakkya pachadi or bhindi raita, crispy bhindi, bhindi chutney or spicy bhindi masala.
