I keep getting requests from readers for kids lunch box recipes. So thought of sharing this. This is one simple vegetable stir fry that I make often & find that my kids always love this in their box.

You can also make a spicy version of this for the grown ups by adding some onions, red chili and green chilies.

To keep the school box interesting, I change my kids’ lunch box menu every 3 months. Probably this is one simple 2 mins stir fry that has kept them more happy than anything else.

Like many other women, i too have very fussy kids who need some thing good and delicious for every meal.

Especially making good vegetable dishes is much needed to motivate them to include more veggies in their diet.

To increase the vegetable intake, i pack a stir fried side dish along with the variety rice dishes or paratha. This paneer stir fry will be loved by most kids since it tastes delicious.

This vegetable paneer stir fry pairs well with ghee rice, jeera rice, fried rice, pulao, lemon rice or can be used as a filling to sandwich or rolls. If using for sandwiches or rolls, you can also smear some green chutney.

There is no tomato or onion used in this recipe. So sure it is a winner with the kids.

Tips for vegetable paneer stir fry

1. I have used just carrots & corn in the recipe. You can also use some potatoes, sweet potatoes, broccoli or even cauliflower.
2. Feel free to use whatever veggies you like.
3. Replace paneer with tofu.
4. Increase the spice level to suit your taste.
5. Sometimes I also add a handful of palak or spinach to this. You can also do that after chopping them finely.
