1

To begin making the Indo-Chinese Paneer Manchurian recipe, first batter-fry the paneer cubes. To do this, first mix together all ingredients mentioned under “For the batter”, and make a thick batter.

2

Place a wok on the heat oil to fry the paneer.

3

Once the oil is hot, dip each paneer cube into the batter, and drop it gently into the oil ,fry till light golden brown in colour. Repeat with all the paneer cubes and drain them on absorbent paper so that extra oil is soaked up.

4

Then, proceed to make the sauce. Place a large pan/pot on the heat. Warm up a tablespoon of oil. To it, add the spring onions, garlic, ginger and the green chilies and saute together for two to three minutes.

5

Add the fried cubes of paneer, reduce the heat to medium and cover for a minute.

6

Meanwhile, in a bowl whisk together soy sauce, sriracha, vinegar, ketchup, cornflour and water.

7

Pour sauce into the pan, and stir till  Paneer Manchurian comes together. Reduce the heat and stir for another minute or two and you will see the sauce thickening up.

8

At this stage, add salt and pepper to taste, bearing in mind that the soya sauce is salty.

9

Turn off the heat, sprinkle Indo-Chinese Paneer Manchurian with chopped spring onion greens and serve.

Serve Indo-Chinese Paneer Manchurian recipe along with Thai Style Noodles With Spinach And Leeks or Chinese Egg Fried Rice for a weekend dinner.

Use firm paneer or cottage cheese for this recipe

While frying the paneer, fry on high heat so that the outside coating becomes golden brown and crisp. We don't want to cook the paneer for too long or it'll get tough and chewy.
