Assembly
Panko Coated Paneer
Mix panko with the egg-coated paneer. Then heat a generous amount of oil in a pan and add all the paneer (if you cook a larger amount, you might need multiple batches). Fry until it is a deep golden brown on all sides, then set on a paper towel lined plate.
Shaoxing Wine MSG Soy Sauce Worcestershire Sauce 1 tbsp Lime Juice 2 handful Curry Leaves 1 handful Coriander Leaves (chopped) Cumin Mix Onion Mix Bell Pepper Pieces Fried Paneer
Heat oil in a pan (you can reuse the oil from the paneer frying step). Add the cumin mix and fry until the cumin starts popping, around one minute. Add the onion mix and a generous dash of Shaoxing wine. Sauté for two to three minutes. Add MSG, soy and worcestershire sauce, lime juice, curry leaves and bell pepper. Cover and turn heat to low. Let simmer for around 30 minutes. Uncover and turn the heat to medium high to boil off most of the liquid. Be careful not to burn the bottom. Then stir in the paneer and the coriander leaves, briefly reheat and serve.
