Garlic chilly Paneer

Recently I prepared garlic chilly paneer, one of the popular & favourite dish in Indo-Chinese cuisine for dinner.This recipe works well as an appetizer or with veg fried rice.As I write this post I'm craving for this spicy,tangy lip smacking recipe.

Ingredients

500 gms paneer

4-5 green chillies (slit) use more if chillies are not very spicy

15 cloves of garlic (chopped)

3 strands of green spring onions 

½ capsicum

1½ tsp-Soy sauce

1 tsp vinegar
1 tsp chilly sauce

1½ tsp garlic tomato ketchup 
½ tsp sugar

Salt to taste

cooking oil as required

Method
Slit the green chillies, chop garlic,spring onions fine.cut the capsicum into 1 inch juliennes.

Cut the paneer into 1 inch square cubes.In a wok, stir-fry the paneer in some cooking oil till they turn brown. soak the paneer in salted water for a few minutes to retain the softness
In the remaining oil, fry the green chillies, garlic for 2 mins. Add the spring onions and sauté for a minute. add the capsicum, cook for 2 minutes.

In a small bowl mix the soy sauce ,vinegar, chilly sauce, garlic-tomato ketchup, sugar, add salt but as required because the paneer is soaked in salty water.Add this sauce to the vegetables.

Now add the paneer pieces, see to it that the paneer is well coated with the sauce. If required add more chilly sauce & garlic tomato sauce.

Cook for 5 more  minutes and serve hot!
Can be served with garlic fried rice
