Paneer(Cottage Cheese) Chilli -Restaurant Style.

The best part about this recipe is that a simple tweak in the sauce allows you to enjoy it as an appetizer or a weeknight meal. It's a lighter and healthier version of the traditionally battered and deep-fried chilli paneer.

It makes for one satisfying vegetarian meal.

Serve it as stuffing for lettuce cups and enjoy a delicious low-carb meal!

The high-heat stir-fry technique means I can get it on the table in only 25 minutes!

Indo-Chinese is a cuisine in itself and hugely popular back home in India.

It’s the Indian version of Chinese and as you can imagine has lot of vegetarian options and lots of spices too.

Enjoy it with vegetable chow Mein.

so good

enjoy with rice or noodles
