CHILLI PANEER (DRY)

chilli-paneer-dry-recipe
      Few weeks back I realized I make only few repeated paneer dishes at home which we all got bored ofRolling Eyes…Then when I saw this easy Chilli paneer recipe in a cookbook I borrowed from library,I just cant wait to try itHee hee,it was very simple yet one of the favourite style of recipe which my kid Hiroloves…He loves Indo Chinese fusions like Gobi manchrian etc..etc..He enjoyed it a lot as I expectedBatting Eyelashes..

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-paneer-dry

Method

  1. 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.

  2. cp1-horz

chilli-paneer-recipes

  • 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.

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.

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.

And thanks for the wonderful words,this is one of the touching comments I have received so far! Happy happy :) :) Very encouraging!

Great looking chilly paneer . This is a favorite at our place but with a major change . My husband is allergic to capsicum so i use other peppers like habanero for this.

I so love all the dishes that u have posted... I should be sleeping now as it is quite late for me... But, I simply couldn't! May I know where u buy all the plates and bowls from? Those plates and bowls look way too tempting than the dish itself! I love the presentation! (my hubby likes me cooking but, he hates me spending on buying different plates and stuff... hehe I hope he doesn't see this) Congrats and all the very best to u! :-) ~ Babitha
