8 ounces (1 recipe) Paneer Cheese or store-bought
5 to 7 quarter-size slices peeled fresh ginger
1 to 3 fresh green chili pepper, such as serrano, stemmed
2 to 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 1/2 tablespoons ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh cilantro, including soft stems (reserve some for garnish)
2 cups fresh broccoli florets
1 cup fresh cauliflower florets
1 cup finely chopped mixed red and yellow bell pepper

1. Prepare the pepper. Prepare the paneer cheese then cut into 1/2-inch pieces.

2. In a small food processor, process together the ginger and green chili peppers until minced, about 30 seconds. Heat the oil in a large non-stick wok or saucepan, then add the ginger and green chili peppers and cook over medium-high heat, stirring, until golden, 1 to 2 minutes.

3. Add the paneer cheese, coriander, cumin, and 1/4 teaspoon salt and cook, turning carefully, until golden, about 5 minutes. Add the cilantro and cook another 2 minutes. Transfer to a serving dish.

4. To the same pan, add the cauliflower and broccoli florets, bell peppers, and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and stir until crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Transfer to the serving dish and mix lightly with the paneer. Garnish with cilantro, sprinkle the black pepper on top, and serve.
