Paneer and Baby Corn Stir Fry, Diabetic Friendly Recipe
by Tarla Dalal
I have modified this traditional Chinese delight a wee bit to suit the diabetic constitution!
You can further vary the spices according to your taste, or even use schezuan sauce instead of soya sauce for a variation. Low fat paneer can be replaced by tofu or soya curd to make it even more healthy.
