Chilli Paneer Gravy Recipe / How to Make Chilli Paneer.
Chilli Paneer is a popular Indo-Chinese dish made by seasoning fried Indian Cottage Cheese in chilli sauce. It is very easy and simple to prepare.
You can make Chilli Paneer in three versions, like dry, semi-dry and gravy. Here I am making the Restaurant Style Chilli Paneer Gravy. It is can be served as side dish to rotis and chapatis.
Chilli Paneer Dry is the most preferred one as an appetizer or snacks but the curry version is mostly preferred in main course meal.
Today I am going to share the curry version of Chilli Paneer. The ingredients that we use are same for both the variants. The only difference is that the quantity of sauce is more in gravy version than dry version.
