Simple, nutritious, and deeply satisfying, Santula is a traditional Indian vegetable dish for the whole family. This healthy vegetarian preparation supports weight loss goals and fits easily into balanced meal plans.
Peel and cut the potato, eggplant, carrot, pumpkin, and tomato into bite-sized chunks. Trim and halve green beans.
In a large saucepan, add water, all the vegetables, turmeric powder, and salt. Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat.
Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-18 minutes until all vegetables are fork-tender but not mushy.
Meanwhile, heat mustard oil in a small skillet on medium. Add grated ginger and slit green chili; cook for 30 seconds until aromatic.
Add the cooked vegetables and any remaining liquid to the skillet. Add cubed paneer, toss gently, and cook for 2-3 minutes on low heat, just to blend flavors. Serve hot.
