Step-by-Step Instructions

1. 1.Prepare Paneer

   Cut the paneer into small, bite-sized pieces and place them in a bowl.

2. 2.Coat Paneer with Spices

   Add 1 teaspoon of red Kashmiri chili powder, 1/4 teaspoon of turmeric powder, 1 teaspoon of garam masala, and 1 tablespoon of cornflour (or rice flour) to the paneer. Mix well to ensure all paneer pieces are evenly coated.

3. 3.Fry Paneer

   Heat oil in a pan. Once hot, add the coated paneer pieces and fry until they are lightly crispy and golden brown. Remove the fried paneer and set aside on a paper towel to drain excess oil. The video shows frying in two batches.

4. 4.Sauté Aromatics

   In the same pan with the remaining oil, add 1 tablespoon of chopped garlic and 1 tablespoon of chopped ginger. Sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

5. 5.Add Capsicum

   Add the chopped green bell pepper (capsicum) to the pan and sauté for 1-2 minutes until slightly tender but still crunchy.

6. 6.Add Cabbage and Onion

   Add the shredded cabbage and quartered onions to the pan. Toss lightly for about 1 minute; do not overcook the cabbage as it should retain its crunch.

7. 7.Season Vegetables

   Add salt to taste, 1 teaspoon of red Kashmiri chili powder, and 1 teaspoon of garam masala to the vegetables. Mix well and cook for about 1 minute.

8. 8.Add Sauces

   Pour in 2 tablespoons of tomato ketchup and 1 tablespoon of soy sauce. Mix all the ingredients thoroughly to coat the vegetables evenly.

9. 9.Combine with Paneer

   Finally, add the crispy fried paneer pieces to the pan. Toss everything together gently for 1-2 minutes, ensuring the paneer is well coated with the sauces and vegetables.
