Schezwan Paneer

Indo-Chinese dishes are in vogue in most of the Indian restaurants these days. The Indian tweak to these Chinese recipes add up spice,flavor and color to the dishes. One such hit Indo-Chinese dish is our very own 'Schezwan Paneer'. It's a mouth watering dish and my personal favorite too !!

Ingredients
1 cup cubed paneer
1 large red onion (chopped)
2 tbsps olive oil
2 cups chopped green,red and yellow peppers
1 tbsp garlic paste
1 tbsp ginger paste
3 tsps schezwan sauce( Look for this recipe in my recipe index)
1 tsp soy sauce
1 cup water mixed with 1 tsp cornflour
A dash of salt to taste


Preparation
Add 2 tbsps of olive oil in a saucepan and shallow fry the cut paneer cubes on both the sides until golden brown.

Now remove the paneer and transfer to a plate.In the same oil,put onion,peppers,ginger-garlic paste and saute until the bell peppers are semi crisp.Add a little salt so that the onions cook faster.

Now add 1 tsp soy sauce and 3 tsps of schezwan sauce and cook on a medium flame until the oil starts leaving the sides of the pan.

Now add the fried paneer cubes and the water corn flour mixture and cook till a thick gravy is obtained.You can add water further based on the consistency you prefer.Finally add salt according to taste.

Turn off the heat and transfer the dish into a bowl and decorate with spring onions on top. And the yummy schezwan paneer is ready to be served !
