Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams Paneer
- 2 tablespoons Cornflour
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 3 tablespoons Oil
- 4 units Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Ginger, minced
- 2 units Green chillies, chopped
- 1 medium Onion, diced
- 1 medium Capsicum, diced
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Tomato ketchup
- 1 tablespoon Chilli sauce
- 1 teaspoon Vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Spring onions, chopped
Instructions
Cut the paneer into 1-inch cubes.
In a bowl, combine cornflour, all-purpose flour, salt, and black pepper. Add the paneer cubes to the bowl and gently toss to coat evenly.
Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Add the coated paneer cubes and shallow fry until they turn golden brown on all sides. Remove and set aside on a paper towel to absorb excess oil.
In the same pan, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil. Add minced garlic, ginger, and green chillies. Saute until the garlic turns light brown.
Add the diced onion and capsicum to the pan, stirring for about 3-4 minutes until they begin to soften.
Pour in the soy sauce, tomato ketchup, and chilli sauce. Mix well to combine.
Add the paneer cubes back to the pan, gently tossing them in the sauce for about 2-3 minutes to ensure they are well coated.
Finally, add vinegar and adjust salt to taste, stirring well.
Garnish with chopped spring onions and serve hot as an appetizer or side dish.
