Instructions
- Once your vegetables are all chopped and ready, cut the paneer into cubes and pat them dry.
- Add it into a mixing bowl and also add in chili powder, pepper, salt and corn starch.
- Shake, toss and mix and if necessary, use your hands also to properly mix everything.
- Heat the oil in a pan.
- When the oil is hot (make sure it’s not boiling), add the paneer cubes into the oil and fry the paneer.
- Turn the paneer over on all sides so that it’s cooked evenly, but don’t fry it for too long a period as they might become hard.
- Once the paneer is done, put onto kitchen paper towels to soak up the excess oil.
- In the same pan, stir in the onions, capsicum, ginger, green chilies, garlic and celery.
- While the vegetables are cooking, add water to the bowl with the remaining corn starch and spice powder mixture to make a paste.
- When the capsicum pieces are half cooked, add in the soy sauce, tomato ketchup and stir it all together. If you wish, you can add some sugar for extra sweetness.
- Season with salt, red chili powder and pepper.
- Add in the corn starch paste, stir well and let it simmer on a medium flame till the sauce is thick.
- Then add in the paneer cubes and stir well to coat the pieces evenly.
- And finally, add some rice vinegar, stir and if it requires more salt or pepper, add as required
- Then serve it dry with rice or as an appetizer.
