What’s in the bowl:

The Base: Boiled chole (chickpeas) sauteed

The Veggies: Sauteed bell peppers, raw chopped onions, juicy tomatoes, and crisp cucumber arranged around the sides.

The Protein Boost: Perfect little cubes of pan-sauteed spiced paneer.

The Secret High-Protein Sauce:

Instead of using store-bought dressings that are loaded with calories, I experimented and made a custom creamy sauce. I just blended half of my sauteed bell peppers, a few pieces of paneer, a couple of spoons of curd, black salt, and black pepper powder.
