Ingredients
- 1 14 ounce block of paneer, cut into cubes
- 1 tablespoon oil of choice
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon minced ginger
- ½ serrano pepper minced
- ½ cup onion masala
- 1 onion chopped into large pieces
- 1 green bell pepper chopped into large pieces
- 2 tablespoons gluten-free tamari or soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce
- 1 teaspoon rice wine vinegar
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Garnish:
- 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
- Scallions garnish
Instructions
- Cut the paneer into cubes and place them on a paper towel lined plate to dry (you don’t want it to be wet or it will splatter in oil).
- Heat oil in a pan and add the paneer cubes in a single layer. Shallow fry them on all sides until golden brown, adding more oil if needed (I find it easiest to do this in a non-stick pan. If using stainless you will need more oil).
- Remove the paneer onto a plate and set aside.
- Add garlic, ginger and serrano pepper, stir, then add the remaining ingredients and cook until the bell peppers are tender.
- Add the paneer back to the pan and mix well.
- Add the toasted sesame oil and garnish with scallions.
Notes
You can add cayenne or red pepper flakes to make this spicy.

Some Costco stores sell Paneer (Gopi brand) for a great price - that's normally where I buy mine though you can easily find paneer at your local Indian grocery store.
