Step 1: Prepare the Marinade for Paneer
In a bowl, combine finely chopped garlic, red chilli flakes, salt, and crushed black peppercorns.
Add chopped parsley, Worcestershire sauce, and 1 tablespoon of oil to the mixture and mix well.
Then, add the paneer pieces to the marinade and mix to coat them evenly.
Set aside for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse.
Step 2: Sear the Marinated Paneer
Heat the remaining oil in a non-stick shallow pan over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, place the marinated paneer pieces in the pan and sear them on both sides for 1-2 minutes until they are golden brown.
Remove the paneer from the pan and set aside.
Step 3: Prepare the Sauce
In the same pan, add butter and let it melt.
Once melted, add refined flour and mix well using a whisk.
Gradually add 1 cup of water while whisking continuously to avoid lumps.
Add salt and mix.
Cook the mixture until it thickens, then strain it to ensure a smooth consistency.
Set aside the sauce.
Step 4: Sauté the Vegetables
Heat oil in another non-stick pan over medium-high heat.
Add green zucchini, yellow zucchini, mushrooms, garlic, and dried red chilli flakes to the pan.
Season with salt and crushed black peppercorns, then sauté on high heat for 2-3 minutes.
Add the blanched carrots and broccoli, and toss everything together to ensure the vegetables are evenly cooked.
Step 5: Combine and Serve
Add the seared paneer pieces back to the pan with the sautéed vegetables.
Pour the prepared sauce over the mixture and gently toss to incorporate everything.
Cook for another 1-2 minutes until everything is heated through.
Serve hot, and enjoy your delicious paneer with sautéed vegetables!
