Corn cottage cheese stir fry.
A delicious and easy to make side dish. Even if you donβt like paneer or cottage cheese, I am sure you will love the taste of this stir fry. Serve it as a side dish or make sandwiches with it, choice is yours. It will be lip-smacking in both ways.
I have used sweet corn with low calorie, protein and calcium rich paneer or cottage cheese.
What about sweet corn nutrition? Well, corn is packed with high nutrients which are useful for a human body in many ways. It ensures idyllic functioning of several internal systems such as cell generation and prevents constipation and various other digestive problems. It is a boon for diabetic people. This nutrient packed starchy snack is low in total fat and has no saturated fat, sodium or cholesterol. It is high in vitamin C and a good source of fiber.

A very down to earth recipe and the combination boiled eggs made the recipe more mouth watering and the step by step follow up made the wonders. I make this recipe very often but not to this extent. Will try this time and wish me luck.

I generally prepare Chicken or Paneer using a combination of sauces as ‘Chilli Chicken’ or ‘Chilli Paneer’………Using sweet corn is quite interesting to me and obviously egg slices are added attraction for me……Great share π
Thanks a lot Jayeeta. Yes dear but for chilli chicken or chilli paneer we have to fry the chicken or paneer with marinated batter. Whereas in this recipe you donβt need to fry anything π
True……..that’s why your recipe is more simple and I will love to try it soon….. π
Thanks dear for your kind words. Please do try and let me know how it turns out π
Sure…..I will π
