Heat oil in a deep curved pan for deep frying.

Dip the paneer slices in the maida batter and deep fry they turn light golden brown in color. Do not clutter the pan with more pieces.You can even deep fry for but long but I love the paneer pieces really soft so I fry until light golden in color. Drain the paneer pieces on to a kitchen napkin.

Add diced and separated onions and fry on high fame for a minute

Reduce the flame or remove the vessel from heat and add vinegar, soya sauce, tomato ketchup, red chili sauce(or paste), salt and pepper. Remember that all the sauces contain some salt, so do not add more salt. Return to heat and mix all the sauces nicely on low flame for a minute
