Ingredients

Scale
  • 400 grams paneer/Indian cottage cheese
  • Corn flour – 2 tbsp
  • All purpose flour – 2 tbsp
  • dash of cooking soda/baking soda
  • Water to mix the above ingredients
  • 2 green bell peppers (sliced)

  • Crushed garlic (1 tsp)

Instructions

  1. Make a thick batter with corn flour, all purpose flour, dash of salt and cooking soda

  3. In a separate wok, add oil and saute onions with crushed garlic and green chillies.
  4. As the onions start caramelizing add the green bell peppers and cook for a few minutes till they are tender.
  5. Add soy sauce, green chilli sauce, tomato sauce, pepper and adjust salt according to taste. Mix them well.
  6. Add the fried paneer cubes and stir well till everything blends in together.

Notes

You can do a healthier version by not deep frying the paneer and just roasting them in a pan (with a little bit of oil)
