Note
This stir fry is a great vegetarian option for those who love bold flavors. The paneer (Indian cheese) adds a creamy and rich texture to the dish. The chili and garlic give the stir fry a spicy kick, making it perfect for those who love a little heat in their food. This dish is perfect for a quick weeknight dinner, as it only takes a few minutes to prepare and cook. Serve the paneer chili garlic stir fry over a bed of rice or with some naan bread for a complete meal. For an extra burst of flavor, try adding some fresh herbs like cilantro or mint to the stir fry before serving. This dish can also be made with other types of protein such as chicken or shrimp, if desired. If you prefer a less spicy version, you can reduce the amount of chili and garlic used or omit them altogether. This stir fry is also a great way to use up any leftover paneer you may have in the refrigerator. It is difficult to accurately determine the cholesterol content of a dish like paneer chili garlic stir fry as it depends on the specific ingredients used and the portion size. However, paneer (a type of cheese made from cow's milk) does contain cholesterol as it is a dairy product. One serving (100 grams) of paneer can contain around 60 milligrams of cholesterol. It is important to note that dietary cholesterol does not have as significant an impact on blood cholesterol levels as saturated and trans fats. It is still important to consume cholesterol-containing foods in moderation and to focus on incorporating a variety of healthy fats into your diet. Roasting
