How to Prepare
Cut paneer into 1-inch cubes and set aside.
In a mixing bowl, combine cornflour, all-purpose flour, salt, pepper, and a little water to make a thick batter.
Coat the paneer cubes in the batter evenly.
Heat oil in a wok over medium-high heat and deep fry the coated paneer cubes until golden brown. Remove and set aside on a paper towel to drain excess oil.
In the same wok, remove excess oil, leaving about 2 tablespoons. Add minced garlic and ginger, and sauté for 1 minute.
Add chopped green chilies, onions, and bell peppers. Stir-fry on high heat for 3-4 minutes until slightly tender but still crunchy.
Add soy sauce, chili sauce, vinegar, and a pinch of sugar. Mix well.
Add the fried paneer cubes and toss everything together to coat the paneer with the sauce.
Stir-fry for another 2 minutes on high heat. Adjust salt and pepper if needed.
