Chilli paneer recipe dry and gravy

Chilli paneer made with a dry and gravy version with detailed step by step and video procedure. Here I have used cottage cheese/paneer to make this quick indo Chinese variation. This paneer recipe posted here is a dry version of the Indo Chinese paneer recipe.

We all love indo chinese recipe and every indo chinese recipe is liked by most of the Indians.

Indo chinese cuisine is usually made using chicken but, for all the vegetarians, paneer is an amazing substitute for chicken and it absolutely gives the perfect flavor as chicken.

Paneer dishes to try from the blog are paneer butter masala, matar paneer, palak paneer, paneer pulao etc...

Here in this recipe, I have made the paneer dry by deep frying paneer cubes and sauteing them in yummy sauces.

The sauces used here are tomato sauce and red chilli sauce which give an amazing taste to the paneer recipe.

Here I have made the dry version but the gravy version of chilli paneer is made by adding more water and more quantity of corn starch which gives us a delicious gravy to the sauteed paneer in sauces.

The gravy for this paneer dish is similar to this recipe but the only difference is adding more corn starch and more water.

There are lots of paneer recipes that can be made and I shall be updating many more paneer recipes as I keep blogging.

When I started making paneer recipes, I just fell in love with paneer and I would now like to try every version of paneer recipe.

Paneer is very good for health and is full of proteins and I would suggest paneer to be included in everyone's diet once in a while.

Below are the recipe details on how to make chilli paneer with step by step details and procedure...
