There is one big problem I am coming across every day, it is definitely not cooking, it is not teaching lessons for kids, it is not the household work, it is not shopping but it is writing an introduction for the recipes. I write a few things, delete it, then rewrite and then somehow settle with a few lines and then move ahead. Coming to today’s recipe I made chilli paneer dry version, which is yet another delectable paneer dish found in all the restaurant menus. This is another simple and quick paneer dish made with onions, capsicums, blended with sauces and Indian spices.

Method

In a bowl add corn flour, all-purpose flour, red chilli powder, black pepper powder, salt and mix well to make the batter.

Add water and make it in to thick batter. Add the paneer pieces to the batter and let it sit for about 2-3 minutes.

In a pan heat little oil and shallow fry the paneer, you can also deep fry them if you want to. Drain the fried paneer to the plate and keep it aside.

Heat about 2 tbsp of oil in a kadai, add the chopped onions, green chillies and saute until translucent.

Add the chopped ginger and garlic and saute well until the raw smell vanishes.

Add the red chilli powder, coriander powder, cumin powder and mix well.

Now add the cut capsicums mix well, sprinkle very little water and cook the capsicums for few minutes.

Now add the red chilli sauce, soy sauce, tomato sauce, salt and give a good stir.

Add the fried paneer mix everything really well until all the masala is coated on the paneer for about 2 minutes.

Delicious Chilli Paneer is ready, Serve it hot with rotis, naans, chapathis or any bread.

Suggestions:

• I have shallow fried the paneer, you can instead deep fry the paneer as well.
• You can add about ½ tsp of ginger & garlic paste to the batter to fry the paneers.
• I have used red, green and yellow capsicum for this chilli paneer, you can change that according to the availability of capsicums.
