Chili Paneer Recipe

1. First, combine maida, cornflour, salt and pepper powder in a large bowl.
2. Slowly add water to make a thick slurry. Wrap the pieces of cheese well in it.
3. Heat the oil in a pan and fry the cheese over medium heat until golden and crispy. Drain the fried cheese on a kitchen towel to remove excess oil.
4. Leave some oil in the same pan and heat.
5. Add the finely chopped garlic, ginger and green chilies to the hot oil and fry for a minute.
6. Add the quartered onions and capsicum and sauté on high flame for 2-3 minutes. Don’t overcook them, a light crunch should remain.
7. Reduce heat to low and add soy sauce, chili sauce, tomato ketchup and vinegar. Mix well.
8. Add salt and pepper powder. Keep in mind that the sauce also contains salt.
9. Dissolve cornflour in water and add to sauce. Stir continuously to avoid lumps.
10. Add 1/2 cup water if you want a chili cheese with gravy, otherwise add less or no water at all for dry chili cheese. Cook until sauce thickens.
11. When the sauce thickens, add the fried cheese pieces and mix well so the cheese has a good coating of sauce.
12. Cook for a minute and turn off the gas.
13. Then garnish with green onions and serve the warm chili cheese over fried rice, noodles or as a starter.
