Instructions

Prepare Paneer Cubes

Cut the paneer into small cubes.
Now gently dip the cubes in a batter of salt, cornflour eggs, and a little chili powder.
You can also skip the egg if you are a vegetarian, or you may skip it otherwise.

Prepare the gravy

Now add refined oil to a pan.
After the oil gets heated up, add finely chopped ginger, garlic, and green chilies.
After some time, you can notice an aroma coming out of the oil.
Now add roughly chopped onions, capsicum, and bell peppers.
Stir it well for a few minutes.
Now add red chili powder, salt, and sugar accordingly.
I generally add the Chicken Chili masala for an extra flavor (it is vegetarian), although if you want you can skip this ingredient.
Mix everything well and now it’s time to add the sauces and vinegar.
Add tomato ketchup, soya sauce, chili sauce (red or green), and vinegar as per the measurements given in the above list.
Saute everything well, until it releases a flavourful essence.

Add Paneer cubes

After all the ingredients get mixed well, add the fried paneer cubes and once again mix the masalas well with the paneer.
Now In a bowl, mix a little cornflour with water. Now add the cornflour slurry to the paneer to make a thick gravy.
You can adjust its consistency by adding water and cornflour.
Now allow it to cook for a few more minutes.
Add black pepper powder and once again saute it for the last time, before you turn off the gas.
Sprinkle chopped spring onions to make them look more attractive and to get a yummier taste.
Serve it hot.
