Method:

1. For frying paneer, i’ve cut the paneer in diamond cut, you cut the paneer pieces as pe your preference, season it with salt and black pepper further sprinkle cornflour in batches and coat it well. Sprinkle some water so the cornflour sticks and coats well.
2. Set oil for frying, heat the oil on medium high until moderately hot, add the coated paneer pieces carefully and fry until crisp and golden brown, make sure to separate the paneer while frying after few seconds so they do not stick to each other.
3. Once its crisp & golden brown in colour remove it over a sieve tell let the excess oil drip off. Keep it aside to toss it in the sauce.
4. For tossing it in the sauce, set a wok on high heat, add oil, let it heat nicely and swirl the wok to coat it well, now add ginger & garlic, stir & cook on high heat for a minute.
5. Now add the bell peppers and toss it well further add the sauces and stir & cook for 1-2 minutes.
6. Now add salt & white pepper powder and green chillies, stir well add a splash of water if the sauce tends to burn.
7. Further add the cornflour slurry gradually to thicken the sauce, by mixing cornflour and water in a bowl.
8. Now, add the fried paneer, spring onions greens and spring onion bulbs, toss it well to coat the paneer well with the sauce, your hot pan paneer is ready, you can serve it as it is by garnishing it with freshly chopped spring onion greens, i will be serving it over a hot sizzler plate.
9. To serve it over a hot sizzler plate, heat it really well and by the time its heating well, set a wok on high heat, add 1 tsp oil and add sliced onions and cabbage, just cook it quickly over high heat and then place it over hot sizzler pan, this prevents the paneer from getting burn on the hot sizzler pan. Add few butter cubes on side to make it more sizzle and give little smoke flavour, your sizzler hot pan paneer is ready, serve hot.
