A warm and colorful bowl filled with golden paneer, roasted sweet potatoes, chickpeas, and a creamy broccoli tahini sauce. Perfect for meal prep or a cozy night in.


Ingredients

  • Paneer: 200 grams, cubed
  • Broccoli: 1 medium head, chopped
  • Sweet Potato: 1 large, cubed
  • Chickpeas: 1 cup cooked or canned, drained
  • Brown Rice: 1 cup cooked
  • Red Onion: 1 small, thinly sliced
  • Cherry Tomatoes: ½ cup, halved
  • Tahini: 2 tablespoons
  • Lemon Juice: 1 tablespoon
  • Garlic: 2 cloves
  • Olive Oil: 2 tablespoons
  • Salt: To taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat Your Equipment: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Combine Ingredients: Toss the broccoli and sweet potato cubes with 1 tablespoon olive oil and a pinch of salt. Spread them out on the baking sheet.
  3. Prepare Your Cooking Vessel: While the veggies roast, heat a non-stick pan with a bit of oil and fry the paneer cubes until golden on all sides.
  4. Assemble the Dish: In a blender, combine roasted broccoli, tahini, lemon juice, garlic, and a splash of water. Blend until smooth. Add salt to taste.
  5. Cook to Perfection: Warm the chickpeas and rice if needed. Toss the tomatoes and onion lightly with olive oil and lemon juice.
  6. Finishing Touches: Drizzle the broccoli sauce over the rice. Top with crispy paneer, sweet potatoes, chickpeas, tomatoes, and onion.
  7. Serve and Enjoy: Give it a gentle toss or serve layered. Garnish with a lemon wedge or fresh herbs if you like.

Notes

  • Use firm tofu instead of paneer for a vegan version.
  • Make sauce ahead and store in fridge for up to 4 days.
  • Roast vegetables in a single layer for maximum crispiness.
  • Thin sauce gradually by adding water while blending.
