  1. Heat sufficient oil in a wok. Roll the paneer diamonds in two tablespoons of cornflour and deep-fry on medium heat until the edges start to turn brown. Drain on absorbent paper and set aside. Cut the onion into quarters and separate the layers.
  2. Mix the remaining cornflour in one cup of water. Blend tomato sauce, sugar, pineapple juice, MSG, white pepper powder and salt in one cup of vegetable stock. Heat two tablespoons of oil in a wok or a pan, add ginger and garlic and stir-fry briefly. Add the onion and continue to stir-fry for a minute. Stir in the sauce and spice mix, the remaining vegetable stock and the cornflour mixture.
  3. Cook for a couple of minutes or until the sauce starts to thicken, stirring continuously. Add the fried paneer, pineapple and capsicum. Cook for a minute more or until the sauce coats the paneer pieces. Stir in the vinegar and serve hot.
