Ingredients: For the Chili Paneer:

  • 250g paneer, cubed
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons oil
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 1 green bell pepper, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1-inch piece ginger, minced
  • 2 green chilies, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon chili sauce
  • 1 tablespoon tomato ketchup
  • 1 teaspoon vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • Salt to taste
  • Fresh coriander leaves, chopped (for garnish)

For the Tacos:

  • 8 small taco shells or tortillas
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce
  • 1/2 cup chopped tomatoes
  • 1/2 cup chopped red onions
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or your choice)
  • Lime wedges for serving

Instructions:

  1. In a bowl, toss the paneer cubes with cornstarch until evenly coated.

  2. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the coated paneer cubes and fry until golden and crispy. Remove and set aside on a paper towel-lined plate.

  3. In the same skillet, add a little more oil if needed. Sauté the chopped onions, green bell pepper, minced garlic, ginger, and green chilies until the onions are translucent and the bell peppers are tender.

  4. Add soy sauce, chili sauce, tomato ketchup, vinegar, ground black pepper, and salt. Stir well to combine.

  5. Return the fried paneer cubes to the skillet and toss to coat them evenly with the sauce. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until everything is well combined and heated through. Garnish with chopped coriander leaves.

  6. To assemble the tacos, warm the taco shells or tortillas according to the package instructions.

  7. Fill each taco shell with a generous amount of shredded lettuce, then top with the chili paneer mixture.

  8. Add chopped tomatoes, red onions, and shredded cheese on top of the paneer.

  9. Serve the tacos with lime wedges on the side for an extra burst of flavor.
