I am always up for a filling salad, especially when the weather starts to look up. Since it's spring and days are longer now, the weather definitely calls for a salad.

Steps

1

First of all finely chop onion and tomato. Saute it in half of the oil. For detailed steps, please refer to the indian style aubergine recipe in my Recipes section. You can always add raw onion to the salad. I prefer the texture the saute'd paste gives to the salad.
2

Chop the veggies you'd like to add in the salad.
3

Dice the paneer, and shallow fry it in the leftover oil. Turn it when it turns golden brown. If using feta cheese or salad cheese. Skip this step, you can just add it to the salad without cooking. I coated the paneer with some dry mango powder before cooking it.
4

In the same pan, roast the peanuts. I absolutely love the much needed crunch it adds to the salad. Such a better alternate than the bread crutons.
5

Now mix everything in the pan, and give it a good mix.
6

Move the mixture in a bowl, add salad leaves. I added bistro salad pack.
