Sakonis Restaurant Style Indo Chinese Chilli Paneer Recipe

For my friends and family and for those of you that have been following for a while, you’ll know that my obsession with chilli paneer is REAL! For years I’ve trialled and tested different ways of making a similar chilli paneer to my much loved chilli paneer from Sakonis. After 18 years of going, I have FINALLY mustered up a recipe that resembles it somewhat! It’s absolutely delicious and the best part? The paneer is air fried so it’s kinda healthy right?! I don’t use MSG (ajinimoto) which is commonly found in restaurant indo Chinese food and is known to enhance flavours. Enjoy! Cooking time: 25 minutes Serves: 4 depending on how much they love paneer 😉 Ingredients: Paneer marinade: 1 tablespoon olive oil 500g cubed paneer 1 heaped tablespoon cornflour 3 tablespoon dark soy sauce 3 tablespoon light soy sauce Mix together and air fry 20 min/till cooked. We have a Tefal XL Family Airfryer. If you dont have an airfryer, you can deep fry. Base: 1 tablespoon olive oil 1 tablespoon sesame oil 3 tablespoon dark soy sauce 3 tablespoon light soy 1 tablespoon chilli sauce 1 inch ginger piece minced 20 cloves of garlic minced 6 green chillies 1 green pepper 1 red pepper A pinch of  black pepper 1 tbsp garlic granules 3 spring onions 1 cup shredded lettuce For full method, see below:
