Method:
Add the paneer pieces into a large bowl & sprinkle corn flour on the paneer using a sieve & then just toss it around in the bowl by shaking it, you just have to lightly coat the paneer with the corn flour, you can sprinkle more corn flour if required.
Once coated, fry the paneer in moderately hot (170° C) hot oil until light golden brown over high flame, fry it in batches, don’t overcrowd the oil.
Transfer the fried paneer pieces into a sieve & set them aside until you make the sauce.
Set a wok over high flame & let it get hot, add the oil & let the oil heat up as well.
Add ginger, garlic, green chilli & spring onion whites, saute over high flame for a few seconds.
Further add the capsicum, bell pepper & onion, toss them over high heat for a few seconds as well.
Add sugar, dark soy sauce, light soy sauce, white pepper powder, vinegar, salt & hot water, just add enough hot water to make a sauce, stir well & bring the sauce to a simmer.
In a separate bowl mix corn flour & water to make a slurry, add this slurry into the simmering sauce while stirring continuously, this will thicken the sauce.
Lower the flame & add the fried paneer & add the basil leaves by roughly tearing them with your hands, coat the paneer with the sauce make sure you don’t cook much at this stage.
Lastly add spring onion greens & your delicious soy basil paneer chilli is ready.
