Orange Paneer

Chef Raj Thandhi Darpan, 14 Apr, 2025

    Ingredients: 
     
    Sauce:

    Zest of 2 oranges 
    1 cup fresh or bottled orange juice 
    3 tablespoons soy sauce 
    1 teaspoon sesame oil 
    ½ cup sugar 
    ¼ cup rice vinegar 
    1 teaspoon red chili flakes (increase if you prefer more heat) 
    1 tablespoon garlic chopped 
    ½ tablespoon ginger chopped 

    Slurry: 
    2 tablespoons cornstarch 
    3 tablespoons water 

    Paneer: 
    1 block of paneer cubed 
    ½ cup cream  
    ½ cup all-purpose flour 
    Salt & pepper 
    Oil for frying 

     

    Directions: 

    • Start by adding all the sauce ingredients to a heavy-bottomed pan over medium-high heat. Bring to a light boil. 
    • Mix cornstarch and water to create a slurry, add slowly to the sauce and whisk continuously. Cook for 3-4 minutes and switch off the heat. 
    • Mix the cream, all-purpose flour, and salt and pepper.  
    • Heat a pan of oil over medium high heat. Dip the paneer cubes in the cream mixture and deep fry until golden brown. 
    • Add the fried paneer to the orange sauce, mix well and garnish with cilantro, green onion, and red chilies for heat. 

     

    Hot Tip: 
    Orange Paneer pairs perfectly with Masala Fried Rice - the recipe for that can be found on the next page.
