Ingredients
For the Paneer

- 1 tbsp Ginger-Garlic Paste
- 1.5 tsp Salt or to taste
- 3 tbsp Corn Flour
- 200 ml Vegetable Oil for deep frying
For the Sauce

Instructions
Prepare the Paneer
- Cut the paneer into 1-inch cubes. In a bowl, marinate the paneer with ginger-garlic paste, salt, and 1 tbsp cornflour for at least 10 minutes.
- Deep fry the marinated paneer cubes in hot oil until golden brown and crispy. Remove and set aside on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Avoid over-frying.
Make the Manchurian Sauce
- Heat 3 tbsp oil in a wok or large pan over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and cook until light pink.
- Add the minced garlic and green chilies; stir-fry for a minute until fragrant.
- Add the cubed bell pepper and stir-fry for another minute.
- Stir in the chili garlic paste and cook for 30 seconds, until the raw smell disappears.
- Add soy sauce, sweet chili sauce, and water. Bring to a simmer. Add salt to taste.
- In a small bowl, mix 2 tbsp cornflour with a little water to form a smooth slurry. Slowly add the slurry to the sauce, stirring continuously until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency.
- Stir in the chopped spring onions.
- Add the fried paneer cubes to the sauce and toss gently to coat evenly.
- Serve hot, garnished with extra spring onions (optional).

Expert Tips for Perfect Paneer Manchurian

- Don't overcrowd the pan when frying the paneer; fry in batches to ensure even browning.
- Adjust the amount of chili garlic paste and chili sauce to control the spiciness level according to your preference.
- If the sauce becomes too thick, add a little more water to adjust the consistency.
