I dumped some Sag Paneer in to my kitchen sink.(about a gallon) Now the drainage is clogged. First I tried liquid plumr half gallon. Did not work. Then tried 3 gallons of liquid bleach. Nothing happened. Then again I tried 1 gallon of liquid plumr. Still no way out. Any idea to help this stupid me out of this tragedy?

Use a plumber's snake. You can buy them at any hardware store or plumbing supply shop.If that doesn't work, (unlikely), rent a power snake (electric).
That will clean it out for sure.

First of all you should not try to many chemicals all at once as it can be toxic.

Wearing gloves and opening windows and door for proper ventilation, hold a bucket under the sink and open the drainage if it can be opened. The content will fall into the bucket. Keep your face ( use a mask to cover your mouth) away from as it will be mixed with the liquid plumr you have used. Close the pipe and try running water, if it is still blocked, try putting a little drano into it , run water for a little while, close. then leave the room. IF you feel you can't do this , then bring in a professional. Next time dump food into the garbage not the sink .

yes, dissassemble, clean it and assemble back carefully and you have got it , easy does it

besides why pouring toxic chemicals by gallons down the drain literally? it is amazing how much of all this stuff are people able to use up unnecessarily on daily basis. some people can wash a couple of plates and quater of bottle is gone, some people prefer to unclogg a kitchen sink with several GALLONS of bleach and stuff rather than try to remove the clogg, who cares. do you realize it is poison and that it doesnot dissappear into thin air after it leaves your home? 4and half gallon for one clogged sink, omg LOL

if you cant dissassemble it, which is unlikely, or next time you get minor problem with it, try sodium hydroxide pellets - put in and wait for about an hour, repeat if necessary (a handful will do, not half ton)

Liquid Plumr will not work. It can damage the motor. Did you try running the garbage disposal? There should be a switch on the wall somewhere that will run it.

If there isn't a garbage disposal, take the trap apart ,put a bucket under it and clean it out with a opened coat hanger and re-assemble. might need new gaskets and watch for leaks.
Or there is a aerosol can that blast away clogs I have used before and would try it first, and a plunger, and boiling water

remove and clean the drain trap.
use a shop vacuum to REMOVE the stuff clogging the pipes.
a snake only breaks it up to possible get stuck elsewhere.

in the future do not dump things down the kitchen drain.
if it is a messy liquid, use the toilet, it is made to handle chunks and will not clog.

who asked you to push it down your sink
you could have thrown it in the bin anyway try calling someone to fix it cos its thick and paneer pieces might be blocking the passage
