Steps

1

Cut paneer into 1-inch cubes. Make paste (required to coat the paneer cubes) by mixing maida, 2 tablespoons cornflour, black pepper powder, ginger and garlic paste, red chilli powder, haldi powder, dhaniya jeera and garam masala powder and salt with 6 tablespoons water. (use as needed, start with adding 4 tablespoon water and keep adding another tablespoon water until medium thick paste is ready).
2

Coat paneer cubes with the paste and set aside for 10-15 minutes to marinate.
3

Heat cooking oil in a kadai over medium flame. Deep fry coated paneer cubes in oil until light brown.
4

Strain them and then put on an absorbent paper (to soak all unnecessary oil) and keep aside until needed.

Add chopped onion and sauté until it turns light brown. Add chopped capsicum and green chillies and cook for 2 minutes. Keep stirring in between.
6

Add chilli sauce, soya sauce, tomato sauce, dry masala and salt. Mix well and cook over medium flame for 1 minute.
