Chili Paneer

Chili Paneer
  • 2 cups cubed paneer (Indian cheese curd)
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch, or as needed
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 (1 inch) piece fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 4 green chile peppers, halved
  • 1 bell pepper, diced
  • Gravy:
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons chile sauce
  • 2 tablespoons tomato sauce
  • 1 teaspoon white sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
  • 2 tablespoons water, or as needed (optional)
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro, or to taste
  • 2 green onions, chopped (optional)


  1. Place paneer in a bowl and add enough cornstarch to coat; mix well.
  2. Heat oil large skillet over medium heat; fry paneer until golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Transfer paneer to a paper towel-lined plate, reserving oil in the skillet.
  3. Combine garlic and ginger in the hot oil; add onion, green chile peppers, and bell pepper. Cook and stir until vegetables are golden brown, about 5 minutes.
  4. Mix soy sauce, chile sauce, tomato sauce, sugar, salt, and remaining cornstarch into onion mixture, stirring in water if mixture is too thick. Add paneer; cook and stir until gravy is thickened, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove skillet from heat and garnish chili with cilantro and green onions.
