Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup paneer
  • 1/2 cup capsicum cubed
  • 1 no big onion chopped roughly
  • 5 nos garlic cloves minced finely
  • 1/2 teaspoon ginger teaspoon finely chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon soya sauce
  • 1 tablespoon tomato sauce
  • 1 teaspoon pepper powder
  • 1/2 tablespoon spring onion white part
  • 1/2 tablespoon spring onion green part
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon oil
  • salt to taste

For the marinade:

  • 1 tablespoon maida
  • 1/2 tablespoon cornflour
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper powder
  • salt as required
  • water as needed to form a paste

Instructions

  • Make a thick batter of the ingredients under 'for the marinade' and add paneer to it and coat it well.
  • Heat oil in a pan and toast the paneer till slightly golden(You can deep fry them too).Drain it in a tissue and set aside. Heat oil in a pan, add spring onion white part,ginger and garlic,fry till slightly browned. Then add onion and capsicum saute in high flame for a minute.
  • Thenn add soya sauce, tomato sauce , chilli sauce, pepper powder and required salt.Mix well until the veggies are coated evenly.Add 1 cup water and let it boil.
  • Then add remaining cornflour maida paste and let it boil.Once it starts to thicken add paneer and give a quick stir.Finally add spring onions green part and switch off.
  • Serve as a accompaniment with fried rice or just as a starter and am sure you will make this often.

Notes

  • You may not end up using the entire maida cornflour paste so use the remaining for making the gravy.
  • I used colored capsicum just for adding color to my chilli paneer.You can even add just green capsicum.
  • I toasted the paneer in my dosa tawa, you can deep fry in oil too.
  • You can even add finely chopped green chillies while adding chopped ginger and garlic.
  • The gravy tends to thicken if resting time is given, so switch off accordingly.If it becomes too thick then add little water to thin it.
  • You can even use vegetable stock repalcing water.Adjust water level according to the consistency.
  • Using freshly ground pepper adds a great flavour to the dish.
