Ingredients

• 250 grams Paneer
• 4 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 3 tablespoons Gluten-free soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Red chili sauce
• 2 tablespoons Tomato ketchup
• 1 medium, diced Bell pepper
• 1 medium, diced Onion
• 5 cloves, minced Garlic
• 1 inch piece, minced Ginger
• 2 sliced Green chilies
• 2 stalks, chopped Spring onions
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 4 tablespoons Oil
• 0.5 cup Water

Directions

Step 1

Cut the paneer into 1-inch cubes.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of cornstarch, a pinch of salt, and a little water to make a smooth batter. Add the paneer cubes and coat them evenly.

Step 3

Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Add the paneer cubes and shallow fry them until they are golden brown and crispy on all sides. Remove and set aside.

Step 4

In the same pan, add the remaining oil and sauté minced garlic, ginger, and green chilies until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the diced onions and bell pepper to the pan and stir fry for 3-4 minutes or until they start to soften.

Step 6

In a small bowl, combine gluten-free soy sauce, red chili sauce, and tomato ketchup. Mix well and pour it into the pan. Stir everything together.

Step 7

In another small bowl, mix the remaining 2 tablespoons of cornstarch with 0.5 cup of water to make a slurry. Add it to the pan and stir well to thicken the sauce.

Step 8

Once the sauce has thickened, add the fried paneer cubes into the pan and toss them gently, ensuring they are well coated with the sauce.

Step 9

Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Step 10

Garnish with chopped spring onions and serve hot as an appetizer or with steamed rice as a main course.
