Cooking Instructions

35 mins
  1. 1

    Make a thick-ish paste of all the ingredients of marinade. Soak paneer pieces in it about 15-20 minutes Refer Image 1

  2. 2

    Add 3-4 tbsp of oil (I used canola oil, you can use any oil available) in a pan and shallow fry paneer on medium heat. Turn it over when cooked side is of golden brown color, repeat till all sides have the same color Refer Image 2

  3. 3

    Drain the paneer and set it aside on a paper towel. It is fine if it slightly burns a few sides

  4. 4

    In the same pan add chopped onions, chopped white part of spring onions, capsicum and green chillies. Cook until onion turns transparent (2-3 minutes)

  5. 5

    Next, turn flame high and add ginger garlic paste, sugar, chilli sauce, soya sauce and tomato ketch up. Stir-fry on high for 30 seconds (maximum) until well blended and turn flame to medium heat

  6. 6

    Add fried paneer cubes, corn flour and water paste. Taste and add the salt accordingly as the sauces will have salt. Stir and cook for 3-4 minutes till corn flour paste thickens and sauces come around paneer

  7. 7

    Add chopped green part of spring onion just before serving and toss it well

  8. 8

    Serve the dish hot. Trust me garlic flavor tastes awesome as paneer coating

  9. 9

    Note: * I used longer diced slice. If you are using frozen paneer then take 1 glass of warm water in a pan and put the paneer for about 10-15 minutes so that paneer will become soft and you can easily cut it into slices.
