Steps:
Soak the paneer in warm water for 10 minutes to soften, then cut it into cubes.
In a small bowl, mix 1 tablespoon cornflour with 1 tablespoon water to make a slurry.
Add 1 tablespoon oil to a microwave-safe bowl and heat it for 30 seconds.
Add sliced onions, bell pepper, and green chilies, then microwave on high for 2-3 minutes.
