Schezwan Paneer

Schezwan paneer.
A lip-smacking Indo Chinese style paneer or cottage cheese dish to make quickly and easily. Its a most favourite paneer dish among my family and friends.
I have made it simple only with cottage cheese, onion, garlic, chilli, vinegar and some sauce. But you can use capsicum, red, yellow bell peppers, baby corn, sweet corn, beans, broccoli or any vegetables of your choice. I have used homemade paneer or cottage cheese. Get the recipe of cottage cheese here.

My paneer hater family members also love this dish 😀. Not only that its a quiet easy and quick to make. You can serve it as a teatime snack or side dish or as sandwich stuffing. Yes it will also great as sandwich stuffing. I am sure there will be no leftover but if you have some leftover Schezwan paneer make sandwiches with it and enjoy 😊

Recipe

Paneer or cottage cheese – 3 cup, cubed

Onion – 2 large, sliced

Garlic – 3 – 4, minced or finely chopped

Green chilli – 1 – 2, chopped

Tomato – 1 large, sliced

Schezwan sauce or chutney – 2 tablespoon

Vinegar – 2 tablespoon

Tomato sauce – 1 – 2 tablespoon

Soya sauce – 2 teaspoon

Chilli sauce – 2 teaspoon

Salt to taste

Oil – 3 tablespoon

Method

1. Mix vinegar, Schezwan sauce, tomato sauce, soya sauce and chilli sauce in a bowl and keep aside.

2. Heat oil in a pan or wok. Add garlic, onion and green chilli.

3. When onion becomes translucent add tomato. Saute till tomato becomes mushy.

4. Now add cubed paneer or cottage cheese and salt. Mix well. Add salt carefully because we have to add sauce and all the sauce has salt.

5. Add the mixture of soya, tomato, chilli sauce, schezwan sauce and vinegar. I like my dish with little sweetness so added 2 tablespoon tomato sauce. If you like less sweet first add 1 tablespoon tomato sauce, taste when done and add 1 tablespoon more if require.

6. Mix and saute till paneer or cottage cheese coated well with sauce. Taste and adjust salt and tomato sauce if require.

7. Garnish with scallion or onion green and tomato slices. Serve hot.

Notes
1. You can use capsicum, red, yellow bell pepper, baby corn or any vegetables.
2. Add chilli or chilli sauce according to your taste.
