Ingredients
  

  • 250 grams paneer cut in thin long pieces
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • 2 tsp garlic finely chopped
  • 1 onion medium size, finely chopped
  • ¼ cup baby corn cut into small pieces
  • ¼ cup carrots finely chopped
  • ¼ cup French beans cut into small pieces
  • ¼ cup cabbage finely chopped
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper powder
  • 1.5 cups water
  • ½ tsp oregano leaves
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1.5 tbsp refined wheat flour maida

Instructions
 

  • Heat 1 tbsp of butter and 1 tsp of olive oil in a pan on a medium flame. When the butter melts and the oil is hot, put 2 tsp of finely chopped garlic pieces in it. Stir and fry them for about 30 seconds.
  • Now, add 250 grams of paneer (cut in thin long pieces) to it and fry them until they turn slightly golden brown in color.
  • When done, remove them on a plate and keep it aside to rest.
  • Now, in the same pan, put in one finely chopped onion and fry until translucent.
  • When done, add ¼ cup of small pieces of baby corn, ¼ cup of carrots (finely chopped), ¼ cup of French beans (cut into small pieces), and ¼ cup of cabbage, finely chopped as well. Mix them all nicely and sauté them on a medium flame for about 3 to 4 minutes, stirring continuously.
  • When the veggies are cooked nicely, add 1 tsp of salt and ¼ tsp of black pepper powder to it and mix them nicely.
  • Now, add 1.5 cups of water to it and mix nicely. Let it come to a boil.
  • When the water starts boiling, take a twig of oregano, remove the leaves with your hand, and add it to the ingredients. Mix it nicely.
  • Now, add 1 cup of milk to the ingredients in the pan.
  • Mix nicely and let the soup cook for 5 minutes on a medium flame until it boils.
  • While the soup comes to a boil, take 1.5 tbsp of refined wheat flour (maida) in a separate bowl and add a little bit of water to make a thick slurry. Add it to the soup and mix nicely.
  • Now, add the fried paneer pieces to it and mix them nicely with the soup. Switch off the stove.
  • Your healthy and tasty paneer soup is finally ready to enjoy. Transfer it into a serving bowl, garnish it with an oregano twig and enjoy hot.

Notes

Make sure that you do not fry the paneer pieces on a high flame and for a long time, or else the paneer pieces will become chewy and stiff, spoiling the taste.
I recommend you to use both butter and olive oil to make paneer soup. It will not only enhance its flavor and taste but will also add to its nutritional factor significantly.
Though I prefer using oregano leaves in the recipe, you may use its powder available in the market.
The maida slurry makes the soup thicker. If you prefer a light and runny soup, skip it.
