Chili Paneer with Fried Rice RECIPES



Chili paneer is served as a starter or tastes great with noodles. It is very easy to make. But just be careful while frying paneer and make sure that the gas is on a medium flame. Paneer should be shallow fried not burnt. Chili paneer taste great even without using any onions.

  1. Anything with chillies gets me all excited. We hardly use paneer over here and the nearest: taufu. Nice pairing with equally tempting fried rice; another which I love forever.
