Ingredients:

  • Paneer-200 grams.
  • Capsicum(medium-sized)- 2.(Quarter cut) 
  • Maida flour- 2 tbsp.
  • Corn starch- 2 tbsp.
  • Ginger and garlic(chopped) - 1/2 tbsp. each.
  • Red Chili powder- 2 tbsp.
  • Onion(medium-sized)- 1.(quarter cut and layered)
  • Spring onions(chopped diagonally)- 2 stems.
  • Green chili- 2.
  • Soy sauce- 1 tea spoon.
  • Tomato ketchup- 1 tea spoon
  • Green chili sauce- 1 tea spoon.
  • Corn starch slurry ( corn starch + little water) - 1.5 tbsp.

Steps to follow:

  1. Make a simple mixture of Maida, corn flour, salt and water. (make sure that the consistency of this mixture is neither too thick nor too watery.)
  2. Cut the paneer into small cubes and toss them in a little corn starch in a separate bowl to achieve that extra crunch. Do not over do this step, as the paneer might break off.
  3. Add the paneer to the mixture and set it aside.
  4. Heat some oil in a pan and shallow-fry the paneer on medium flame. Flip the paneer to other side and take them out of the oil when they turn golden yellow.
  5. Add some ghee in a pan. After it heats up, add ginger, garlic and red chili. Stir them on medium-low flame for 2 mins.
  6. Add Capsicum and onion and and stir it for 1 min on medium flame.
  7. Add the sauces and toss the vegetables. Add a tiny bit of water for the sauce.
  8. Add the mixture of corn starch slurry and stir it till the gravy thickens.
  9. Add the paneer and stir it for 10 seconds. Then it out in a plate.
  10. Garnish with spring onions and roasted sesame seeds.

Precautions to take while cooking the dish:

  • While frying the paneer, make sure to not over-fry it. It should not become brown.
  • The Maida mixture should be just enough to cover all the paneer. Do not use too much of that mixture.
  • Do not cook the vegetables for a long time, as they might become soggy.
  • After adding paneer, do not let it be on flame for long as it will loose its crispy nature.
There you have it—a tantalizing Chili Paneer recipe. Its delightful fusion of flavors and the balanced consistency will surely leave your taste buds dancing with joy. So, don your apron, let your culinary creativity flourish, and treat yourself to this irresistible delight that promises to be a favorite in your kitchen repertoire. Happy cooking and savor every flavorful bite!

Reality strikes.

Well I apologize for not writing for so long. I promise to be regular from now. I will make a blog once a week for sure. Coming to neet. Well I scored about 550/720 with a AIR of 64000 and SR of about 1126. Its exactly what I expected but not I hoped for. Things are different after neet. A lot different than I imagined it to be. Despite of me scoring a average mark in neet, I am eligible for going to a med school in my state. Well its not aiims but I ain't got much of a choice. Well its not that forced too. Its okish. I convince myself by saying I got different goals. I'll live.  Now I don't really want to talk about my college choices because i think its too soon. So lets talk about other stuff going in my life right now. 1) I joined gym. Its good. I am getting fit. I hate the dieting part. I promise i am not working out for getting girls.I am doing it for myself. I deserve it. 2) Eternal boredom. I'm always bored. my passion for books diminished a bit. Am re-watching

My journey of preparing for NEET.

This post is about my experiences and hardships I went through my journey of preparing for neet. I would agree, my life wasn't really that hard. I would even go as far to say that some part of me enjoyed it. I mean, I had friends with whom I had a lot of fun with.  Lets divide this post into 3 sections: 1) 1st year. 2) 2nd year. 3) Post-neet. 1st year: My great NEET preparation journey begins. I remember my first day of coaching crystal clear. All I was carrying with me was a bag with 3 notebooks, some modules and my trusty nokia button phone. I was one of the first to arrive at the class, so I was playing Tetris on my nokia. Yay epic gaming moment.    Then comes a person who I don't recognize at that moment, because obviously everyone were new to me. I didn't bother to ask his name and he didn't either. Then we had our introductions in class. I felt warm and welcomed by my classmates. I didn't really like our campus, it was very old and god forbid anyone from talki
