Direction To Make

Cut the paneer into about 1 inch cubes and keep it aside.
To make the marinate batter, take a bowl and add maida (refined flour), 2 tablespoons cornflour, salt, black pepper and mix well. To make a thick batter, Gradually add water and mix well. Ensure that there should be no lumps in the batter and that the batter should not be too thick or too thin.
Add paneer cubes to the batter and mix gently and set aside for 12 - 15 minutes to marinate.
To deep fry, heat ghee or cooking oil in a wok (kadai) on medium heat. When the ghee gets hot, add 3 - 4 cubes of marinated paneer and fry till it becomes light brown. Fry all the paneer in this way.
Transfer the fried paneer to the absorbent paper, to soak up the excess ghee and set aside for later use.
Dissolve 1 tablespoon cornflour in 3 tablespoons of water and set aside for later use.
Heat 2 tablespoon ghee or oil in a pan on medium heat. When the ghee becomes hot, add grated ginger, garlic and fry for 30 seconds on medium heat.
Add the diced onion and mix well. Fry the onion till it turns light brown, stirring occasionally.
Add diced capsicum and sliced green chillies and fry it on a medium flame for about 2 minutes, while stirring occasionally.
Add all the sauces (soy sauce, green chili sauce and tomato sauce) and mix well. Cook it on a medium flame for one minute while stirring continuously.
