Method:
Marinating Paneer
Cut Paneer into 1-inch cubes. In a bowl, add little salt, ½ tsp Black Pepper Powder, 1 pinch each out of 1 tbsp Garlic paste and Ginger paste. Mix all this ingredients very well. Marinate Paneer cubes gently with this mixture.
In other bowl, add 1 tbsp corn flour/ Corn Starch and 5-6 tsp water, make thin consistency paste. Heat enough oil for deep-frying. Use small nonstick deep fryer, which will give us, required depth for deep-frying by using less amount of oil. Dip marinated Paneer pieces into Corn flour paste, and deep-fry these pieces till color turns to golden. Fry 2-3 pieces at a time. Do not fry longer; it could affect the taste of Paneer. Transfer fried pieces to Paper towel and remove extra oil.
Chili Paneer
Heat 2-3 tsp oil in a nonstick frying pan. Add remaining ginger-garlic paste and sliced onion and sauté. Once onion is half cooked, add sliced bell pepper and sauté. Do not cook bell pepper completely. Add chili sauce and cumin powder. Tomato paste, plum sauce, peanut butter. Add Soy sauce, Vinegar, Sugar and mixture of Chili water and Corn Flour paste. Let the mixture become little thick. Once mixture becomes thick, add fried Paneer Pieces and mix gently. Cook for a minute. Garnish with Chopped green onion and Serve hot as starter.
Note:
While coating Paneer with Corn Flour paste, be careful about the consistency of the paste. It should not be thick. It will affect the taste. We want very thin coating of Corn flour paste on Paneer.
