Easy Vegetable Stew with Protein

This stew is thick with vegetables and perfectly seasoned vegetarian, or non-veg, protein. Choose your protein in the form of paneer, beans, tofu, or chicken.

When any protein is served in a broth, it greatly increases digestibility. Imagine this like a quick chicken soup for the soul. It's that nourishing!
