Lettuce Paneer wraps

Hi,

There are few recipes which you discover accidentally and they are stuck with you forever.
This is one of those. I just can't stop going back again and again to this recipe and my husband just loves it. So, here goes my first contribution to culinary world.

Ingredients:
Soya Sauce - 2 tsp
Balsamic Vinegar - 2 Tbsp
Salt - as per taste
sugar - 1 tsp
cumin powder - 1/2 tsp
onion - 1 small
garlic - 1 clove
ginger paste - 1 tsp
Vegetable Oil - 2 tbsp
Butter - 1tbsp
Paneer - 6 - 8 oz
lettuce leaves - 5 to 8

Cut the onion into thin slices and make the ginger garlic paste. Cut the paneer into small cubes about 1cm thick.
In a pan, put oil and butter and as it becomes hot add sliced onions to it. Saute for 2 mins, when it just starts to become translucent, add the ginger garlic paste. Saute for another 2 mins until the garlic is aromatic. Now add the soya sauce, balsamic vinegar salt, sugar and cumin powder to it. Give it a stir and add the paneer cubes to it. Put it on low heat and keep stirring till the paneer becomes soft.

Transfer it to the serving dish with the whole lettuce leaves on sides. wrap the paneer in lettuce leaves and enjoy the flavours. This recipe serves 2.

TIP: Dipping the lettuce leaves in icy cold water for about 15-20mins helps them become really crunchy. Soft paneer cubes inside crunchy lettuce leaves go a long way together. You can dip the leaves before you start making paneer and by the time you finish it will be ready.
