To make the Paneer: In a medium bowl, combine cornstarch, soy sauce, cayenne, salt, pepper, and 1 teaspoon cooking oil. Add paneer and stir until lightly coated. Set aside for 5 minutes.

Meanwhile, make the Chili Sauce: In a small bowl, combine yogurt, sweet chili sauce, mayonnaise, hot sauce, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.

In a large heavy skillet over medium-low, heat remaining 1/4 cup oil, or more as needed to reach 1/4-inch deep. Add paneer, spacing out the pieces, and cook until browned, 7 to 10 minutes, flipping halfway through.

Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate or platter, then transfer to a medium bowl. Add scallions, jalapeño, and 3 tablespoons chili sauce (save remaining chili sauce for another use). Serve warm.

Note: Look for sweet chili sauce in the Asian or ethnic section of the supermarket.
