Chilli Paneer
In pan heat oil ,when hot add cubed paneer and fry till golden brown (I have always noticed that fried paneer becomes chewy, I put the fried paneer into hot water and 1 tsp salt for 15 minutes -this way the paneer remains soft), to the same oil I have added cubed capsicum and fried for 2 minutes and kept it aside.
