Chilli Paneer

This is our favorite Indian-Chinese appetizer. After seeing the Chilli Paneer from Meenakshi of Hooked on Heat I was tempted to try the dish. A slightly different dry version... It turned out good except that the paneer was a bit hard. Guess I had fried it for too long. If anyone has any suggestions pls feel free.



Paneer: 200 grams cut into thin 1 inch squares
Corn flour: 1 tbsp
Paprika: 1/4 tsp
Onion:1 large
Green pepper: 1
Fresh copped ginger and garlic. 1 tsp each
Green chilies: 3 slices thin.
Spring onions. chopped. 1 cup
Soy sauce (I use lilte soy sauce)

Make a paste of corn flour, paprika, salt and water. Coat the paneer with this and marinate for 10 min. Meanwhile heat some oil and add the ginger, garlic, green choilies, onions and peppers. Fry till onion turns brown and capsicum is cooked. Add some salt and soy sauce. Sprinkle some corn flour if you want the dish to be very dry. While the onions are cooking, fry the paneer on a tawa for about 2 minutes on each side. Add the fried paneer and mix. Remove from heat after a couple of minutes.
