Few weeks back I realized I make only few repeated paneer dishes at home which we all got bored of

…Then when I saw this easy Chilli paneer recipe in a cookbook I borrowed from library,I just cant wait to try it

,it was very simple yet one of the favourite style of recipe which my kid

loves…He loves Indo Chinese fusions like Gobi manchrian etc..etc..He enjoyed it a lot as I expected

..
Ingredients:
| Paneer(cubed) | 200 gms / 1 & 1/2 cup |
| Capsicum | 1 no. |
| Onion | 1 no. |
| Green chilli | 4-5 nos. |
| Soy sauce | 1-2 tsp |
| Chilli sauce/tomato sauce | 1 tblsp |
| Lemon juice | 1 –2 tsp |
| Pepper powder(black) | 1/2 tsp |
| Garlic flakes | 5-6 nos. |
| Ajinomoto (optional) | 1/4 tsp |
| Chopped coriander | 4-5 tblsp |
| Salt | as needed(1/4-1/2 tsp) |
Batter for frying Paneer cubes:
| Maida/all purpose flour | 1 & 1/2 tblsp |
| Corn flour | 1 & 1/2 tblsp |
| Cooking soda | a small pinch |
| Salt | As needed (1/2 tsp) |
Oil for deep frying and frying
Method
- Make a thick batter of maida and corn flour with salt,the batter consistency should be enough to coat the paneer smoothly.Deep fry the paneer cubes by dipping them in this batter ,drain in paper towel.
- Cube the onion,capsicum,slit the green chillies and crush the garlic flakes roughly.Heat a wide pan with 2 tsp oil and add the crushed garlic,green chillies,give a fry.Add the onion and fry till transparent.
- And then add the capsicum. Give a stir in high flame.Reduce flame and add the sauces,pepper salt and mix well.
- Add the deep fried paneer cubes and mix in the lemon juice and mix well until everything blends evenly.Lastly add the coriander leaves and transfer to the serving dish.
- Enjoy hot!!
- Pepper and garlic are the two things I love in this.
- Goes well with fried rice or can have as starter.Eat hot!
- If you want to avoid deep frying,just fry the paneer cubes alone in the pan until it turns golden brown here and there and proceed with the recipe.

I love this too :-)Love your clutterless pictorial, I know how hard it is to click while you cook. I never manage to get neat pictures of the process :(
This chilli paneer would make such a delicious starter. Lovely Clicks!
Delicious combo. Just can't take my eyes off the picture... too tempting.
Such elaborate and step by step recipe. Will surely give it a try.
Lovely and a real quickie to make. I do the same way most of the time, only that I soak the fried paneer in warm water for a few minutes before adding them to the curry.
This is my most favourite one!
The Paneer makes me drool..
I love these pictures, its different!
A very nice recipe! As usual, the snap is striking!

Shobha
They are irresistible !
A nice starter...very tempting indeed!!
wonderful starter Raji..nice clicks too.
Dear Raji,
A long time reader of ur lovely blog. Have never commented before, but have tried a lot of recipies from here. My fav remains, ur very easy home made pizza recipie.
I have to share this incident with you: I wanted to make the puffs and went about searching for the puff pastry sheets, instead i picked up the ones that are used to make spring rolls and followed the puff making recipie - only change i made was i rolled the sheets in spring roll form.The result was surprisingly good, considering i had altered such a major element of the recipie and just when I was about to leave u a comment, I see you posted a spring roll recipie urself! With the remaing sheets, I made the spring rolls (this time the proper way) and they came out well. Thanks so much. Also you have an awesome blog and keep the good work up.
