Paneer chilli is one of the delicious Indo-Chinese recipes made with paneer cubes. chilli based recipes are very common starters from the Indo-Chinese cuisine, particularly the chilli chicken has a huge fan following because of its tender chicken pieces in chilli sauce. I am a huge fan of paneer and Indo-Chinese recipes. I have deep fried the paneer cubes with a spiced batter to give them a crisp covering before adding them to sweet, sour, and spicy sauces. There are many ways of making it, you can make it dry, semi-dry, or with gravy.
