Instructions
Finely chop the needed ingredients and keep them ready.
Also measure and keep the sauce and vinegar ready ahead of time.
To prepare cornstarch slurry, take 1 tablespoon of corn flour in a small bowl.
Add ½ cup of water, mix and remove lumps if any. Keep it aside, we need this to make gravy later.
Take 1 tablespoon corn flour and 1 tablespoon all purpose flour in a large bowl.
Add salt and pepper.
Now add around 2 tablespoons of water and make lump free thick yet runny batter.
Add paneer cubes into the same bowl. Mix so the batter is evenly coated to the paneer pieces.
Now heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a pan for shallow frying on medium heat.
Once hot arrange the paneer cubes in single layer. If needed fry in two batches.
Once they are light golden brown and slightly crispy from bottom, flip them and fry the other sides too.
Once cooked from all the sides, remove it to a paper towel lined plate.
Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil in the same pan on medium heat.
Once hot add chopped ginger, garlic, green chili and celery. Mix and saute for few seconds. Do not let them burn.
Now add spring onion white and cook for a minute or two.
Now add salt, pepper and red chili flakes. Mix and cook for few seconds.
Now add soy sauce, 1 cup of water and sugar. Addition of sugar is optional.
Mix well and let it come to a boil.
Once starts boiling, add above prepared corn starch slurry. And let it simmer for 2-3 minutes or till the gravy becomes thick.
Lastly add vinegar, mix.
Then add fried paneer cubes and spring onion greens.
Mix well and it is ready to serve
