Ingredients

2 cups cubed paneer (Indian cheese curd)
¼ cup cornstarch, or as needed
¼ cup vegetable oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 (1 inch) piece fresh ginger, grated
1 onion, chopped
4 green chile peppers, halved
1 bell pepper, diced
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons chile sauce
2 tablespoons tomato sauce
1 teaspoon white sugar
½ teaspoon salt, or to taste
2 tablespoons water, or as needed
¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro, or to taste
2 green onions, chopped

Steps:

Place paneer in a bowl and add enough cornstarch to coat; mix well.
Heat oil large skillet over medium heat; fry paneer until golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Transfer paneer to a paper towel-lined plate, reserving oil in the skillet.
Combine garlic and ginger in the hot oil; add onion, green chile peppers, and bell pepper. Cook and stir until vegetables are golden brown, about 5 minutes.
Mix soy sauce, chile sauce, tomato sauce, sugar, salt, and remaining cornstarch into onion mixture, stirring in water if mixture is too thick. Add paneer; cook and stir until gravy is thickened, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove skillet from heat and garnish chili with cilantro and green onions.
