Chilli Mushroom & Paneer

Ingredients
Paneer - 100 grams
Mushrooms - 10 buttons
Green chillis - 6-7
Ginger - 1 1/2 tsp copped
Garlic - 2 tsp chopped
Capsicum - 1 1/2
Spring onions - 4
Spring onions greens - 1 cup
White vinegar - 1 tsp
Soya sauce - 2 tsp
Chilli sauce - 2 tsp
Salt - to taste
Black pepper powder - 1/2 tsp
Cornflour - 1 tsp
Vegetable oil - 2 tsp

Preparation
Cut Paneer & Mushrooms in thick slices
Slit green chillis. You can even chop it (I use slit and chopped both)
Dice capsicum and spring onions. You can even use red & yellow bell pepper. That will give nice color to the dish.
Roughly chop spring onion greens
Dilute the cornflour in 2 tsp water. We will use it for thickening the sauce

Cooking
Start the burner and heat the pan

Once the pan is hot, reduce the flame and add oil to the pan
Add ginger, garlic and green chillis to the hot oil. Let them cook for a minute
Then add onions in the pan and cook them for a minute
Add mushrooms in the pan
Add white vinegar
Add soya sauce
Add green chillis sauce
Add Black pepper powder
Add salt to taste
Mix all the above ingredients well and leave it to cook for 5 minutes with lid on
Mushrooms may release some moisture, reduce the moisture by cooking in open for 2 minutes
Add diced Paneer. We don't have to cook our Paneer for long or else it will lose it's softness
Add capsicum. We add them last to retain its crispness
Add cornflour mixture and give a quick stir
Taste the sauce and add salt if necessary
Cook for 2 mins and then switch off the flame.
Serve hot
