Ingredients

For the sauce

  • 6 tablespoon (90 g) tomato ketchup
  • 2 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 2 teaspoon sugar
  • 0.5 teaspoon red chilli powder adjust to taste
  • 2 tablespoon white vinegar
  • 0.5 cup (125 ml) water

Remaining ingredients

  • 10 oz (275 g) paneer cubed
  • 1 cup (150 g) finely sliced spring onions or onions thinly sliced
  • 5 cloves garlic minced
  • oil for frying
  • ½ green capsicum sliced into long strips

Instructions

  • Whisk together all the ingredients for the sauce and set aside
  • In a pan, deep fry the paneer cubes for 3-4 minutes, till they brown lightly. Remove and set aside.
  • Remove all but 2 tablespoon of the oil from the pan. To this, add the sliced spring onions (or onion) and garlic and sauté on a medium heat, till the onions are light brown - about 7 minutes.
  • Add the sauce to the pan. Bring to a boil and cook till it thickens slightly - about 4 minutes.
  • Add the fried paneer cubes and capsicum slices into the sauce. Stir to coat the paneer and capsicum in all the sauce and allow it to simmer uncovered over a medium heat until the paneer is warmed through and the sauce has thickened to your liking.
