Dry chilly Paneer

I saw this recipe from Raks kitchen and i immediately checked my pantry for the availability of ingredients. Most wonderful thing abt this recipe is ,it comprises of day today items we generally use.. Actually i's looking for a dish to send for the bookmarked event. This time i tried from Rak's kitchen.. It was damn good , though i made some alterations that suits my taste buds. This one is surely yummilicious and i'm sure everyone would agree when they have a bite..  My paneer would be big ,like chicken piece, cos of the fact that i made the paneer by myself and stored it as big chunk pieces.. so, i just used as it is..The texture of the dish might  not be appealing as it does in Rak's but it does tastes heavenly as Her's..

Noe throw in the onions,green chillies and the bell pepper and saute well. when these are half cooked, add the sirarcha sauce,tomato sauce,pepper powder and the soya sauce. Scald well. Now it's time to dump in the deep fried paneer pieces and let them marry . The masalas should blend in with the paneer. Stir them in between. Finally sprinkle the lemon juice and give it a good mix for a minute and switch off..
