Chilli Paneer is a Indo Chinese Recipe but can be very well paired up with fried rice as well.Already I have posted a semi dry version of chilli paneer, now here I am with this chilli paneer gravy which serves as a great side dish for fried rice recipes.I paired it up with paneer fried rice and it was a treat for both paneer lovers at home.
Ingredients
Paneer – 3/4 cup cubed
Capsicum – 1/2 cup cubed (I used color capsicum)
Big Onions – 1 chopped roughly
Garlic – 5 cloves minced finely
Ginger – 1/2 tsp finely chopped
Soya sauce – 1/2 tsp
Tomato sauce – 1 tbsp
Pepper powder – 1 tsp
Spring Onions(white part) – 1/2 tbsp chopped finely
Spring Onions(green part) – 1/2 tbsp chopped finely

Oil – 1 tbsp
Salt – to taste
For The Marinade
Maida – 1 tbsp
Corn flour – 1/2 tbsp
Pepper powder – 1/4 tsp
Salt – as required
Water – as required to form a paste
Method* Make a thick batter of the ingredients under ‘for the marinade’ and add paneer to it and coat it well.
* Heat oil in a pan and toast the paneer till slightly golden(You can deep fry them too).Drain it in a tissue and set aside. Heat oil in a pan, add spring onion white part,ginger and garlic,fry till slightly browned. Then add onion and capsicum saute in high flame for a minute.
* Then add remaining cornflour maida paste and let it boil.Once it starts to thicken add paneer and give a quick stir.Finally add spring onions green part and switch off.
* Serve as a accompaniment with fried rice or just as a starter and am sure you will make this often.
