Ingredients:
200gms paneer or cottage cheese, cut into small bite size cubes
5-6 green chilies,slit at the center (add chilies as per your taste)
1 onion,cut slices lengthwise
8-9 garlic cloves,chopped
1 small size capsicum,cut into thick strips
Black pepper powder, as per your taste 
1tbsp dark soy sauce
1tbsp tomato ketchup
2tsp cornflour
1tbsp vinegar
1 cup water
1cube of Maggi Veg Stock
Oil 
Method:
Heat 1tbsp oil in a pan and shallow fry the paneer cubes till they are golden brown. Remove paneer cubes on an absorbent paper.
Heat 2tbsp or 11/2tbsp oil in a pan. Keep flame on high.Add onions and chilies,saute for 30secs. Add garlic and saute for half a minute. Add capsicum and saute for a minute .
Season with some pepper powder and saute again.
Now add soy sauce and ketchup, stir. Add a cup of water and add the paneer cubes along with the maggi masala. Stir.
Alternatively,mix cornflour in little water and dissolve completely. Add the cornflour mix to the sauce and stir again. Add vinegar.
Stir and bring this to a boil. You will notice that after adding the cornflour mix the sauce thickens. Stir and cook till the sauce thickens and coats the paneer. Remember that this is a semi dry paneer so keep the gravy accordingly.
Chili Paneer is ready to serve.
Tips!
Serve chili paneer with noodles,fried rice or steamed rice.

I have not added salt as soya sauce and the maggi veg stock both have salt in it. However, if you are trying this recipe without Maggi Veg Stock Cube then you will need to add salt for seasoning.
