Ingredients

For the Dish:

1 cup suji (semolina)

½ cup yogurt

1½ cup water

2 tablespoons oil

½ teaspoon cumin seeds

½ teaspoon mustard seeds

1 small onion, finely chopped

1 green chili, finely chopped

1 tablespoon ginger garlic paste

¼ cup green capsicum, chopped

¼ cup sweet corn

¼ cup red bell peppers, chopped

¼ cup yellow bell peppers, chopped

Salt to taste

½ teaspoon red chili flakes

¼ teaspoon red chili powder

¼ teaspoon black pepper powder

¼ teaspoon cumin powder

100g paneer (cottage cheese), crumbled

2 tablespoons fresh coriander, chopped

1 sachet fruit salt

Oil for cooking

Instructions

  • Prepare the Base:

    • In a non-stick pan, heat 2 tablespoons of oil over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and mustard seeds. Let them splutter.

  • Cook the Vegetables:

    • Add finely chopped onion and green chili to the pan. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent.

    • Add ginger garlic paste and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly.

    • Add chopped capsicum, sweet corn, red bell pepper, and yellow bell pepper. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, until the vegetables are tender but still crunchy.

  • Add the Suji:

    • Reduce heat to low and add the suji (semolina). Roast the suji for 3-4 minutes, stirring constantly, until it turns golden brown.

  • Prepare the Mixture:

    • In a separate bowl, whisk together yogurt, water, red chili flakes, red chili powder, black pepper powder, cumin powder, and salt. Pour this mixture into the pan with the roasted suji, stirring well.

  • Cook the Suji Mixture:

    • Stir the mixture on medium heat until the suji absorbs the water and thickens (about 4-5 minutes).

  • Add the Paneer:

    • Once the suji has thickened, add crumbled paneer to the pan. Stir to combine and cook for another 2-3 minutes.

  • Add Fruit Salt:

    • Sprinkle fruit salt over the mixture and give it a quick stir. Let it cook for another 1-2 minutes to make the dish fluffy.

  • Finish and Serve:

    • Garnish with fresh coriander and serve hot.

Notes

Storage: Best enjoyed fresh, but leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for up to 1 day in the fridge. Reheat with a little water or oil.

Vegan Option: Replace yogurt with a dairy-free alternative like coconut yogurt and skip the paneer for a fully vegan version.

Add More Veggies: Feel free to add spinach, peas, or carrots for additional nutrition.
