"Scrambled" Paneer

Ahhh...day 2 of the Nor'easter. We just found out that the MBTA will be closed today and I'm not sure how  I'm going to make it through the day :) So, I woke up this morning and got cracking on a breakfast I had been dying to make. I get sick of eating eggs all the time for breakfast and felt that Paneer is a good protein and low carb substitute. Paneer is an Indian cheese. I had made some at home awhile back and froze it for a rainy (or snowy) day.

I started dethawing it and decided it would be great as a breakfast treat. Here is what is in it:

tsp olive oil
1 clove garlic, chopped
2 green onions, chopped both white and greens
1/4 frozen peas and carrots
1/2 cup paneer
2 tsp Madras Curry Powder
Salt and pepper to taste

I heated the olive oil in a pan. Once hot, I added the garlic and green onions and let then get a little brown. Then I added the frozen peas and carrots. Since I had not dethawed them, I put them in frozen, which I put them in first so they could "dethaw" in the pan. Then I added the paneer and started to break it up in the pan. Add the curry powder and seasoning and mix everything together. Once everything was mixed I put in on a plate with Maggi Sweet Chili sauce. It's a little spicy, a little tangy, and a lot of yummy.
