  • Heat oil in a pan, dip the paneer in the batter and coat it well. Drop the paneer in the oil carefully and fry it in medium flame.
  • In a bowl, add tomato sauce, soy sauce, vinegar, red chilli powder, pepper powder and mix everything well. Keep by side.
  • Heat oil in a pan, add garlic, ginger and saute in high flame for few seconds without burning it. Then add cubed onion, capsicum and saute for few seconds (the veggies should be crunchy). Now pour all the sauces kept by side.
  • Then add very little salt (sauces have added salt in it) and sugar.
  • Add the fried paneer and toss well, ensure the sauce coats the fried paneer well. Finally, sprinkle spring onion, toss everything well and switch off the flame.
