Paneer in hot garlic sauce

Paneer in Hot Garlic Sauce
(Adapted from Nita Mehta's zero oil recipes)

This recipe uses lot of tomato ketchup and the ketchup overpowers the taste of other ingredients. Everyone loved the dish but next time I will reduce the quantity of ketchup.


1 cup paneer (tofu) - cut into cubes or triangles
4 cloves garlic
1 dry, red chilli - deseeded and chopped
1 small onion - chopped
1 capsicum - cut into tiny cubes
5 tbsps ketchup
1 tsp red chili sauce (I used sriracha)
1 tbsp soya sauce
1/2 tsp pepper
salt
1/2 tsp sugar
2 tsp vinegar
2 tbsp cornflour mixed with 1/2 cup water

To prepare garlic sauce, peel and mash the garlic well. Heat pan. Add garlic and red chili bits. Remove from fire and stir till garlic starts to change color. Keep pan back on flame and add onion and cook till soft.
Add ketchup, red chili sauce, soya sauce, pepper and salt. Cook for 1 minute on low heat. Add sugar and vinegar. Add capsicum, salt and 1 1/2 cup water. Give one boil. Add cornflour paste, stirring all the time. Add paneer and cook for 2 minutes. Serve hot with rice.
