Ingredients
-
1 pack MOOJ paneer, cubed
-
1 tbsp neutral oil (avocado, coconut, or vegetable)
-
2–3 tbsp Thai red curry paste (adjust to spice tolerance)
-
1 can (13.5 oz) coconut milk
-
1/2 cup water or veggie broth
-
1 red bell pepper, sliced
-
1/2 yellow onion, sliced
-
1 cup broccoli florets (or snap peas)

1 tsp brown sugar or coconut sugar
-
Juice of 1/2 lime

Optional: fresh basil or cilantro for topping
To Cook
-
Sauté aromatics
Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Add red curry paste and cook for 1–2 minutes until fragrant and slightly darkened. -
Build the sauce
Stir in coconut milk and water/broth. Whisk until smooth and bring to a gentle simmer. -
Add veggies
Add onion, bell pepper, and broccoli. Simmer 5–7 minutes until just tender. -
Paneer time
Gently fold in MOOJ paneer. Simmer another 3–4 minutes so it absorbs the curry without breaking. -
Season + finish
Stir in soy sauce, sugar, and lime juice. Taste and adjust (more lime = brighter, more paste = spicier). -
Serve
Spoon over jasmine rice, basmati rice, or cauliflower rice. Top with basil or cilantro.
