Chilli Paneer




Chilli paneer-An Indian and chinese fusion of flavours are excitingly used in this paneer (Indian cheese) dish made from whole milk. Succulent pieces of paneer grilled to give it a crunch on biting, marinaded and stir fried in a wonderful spicy hot chilli sauce accompanied by onions and capsicums.

2 tablespoons soya sauce
2 tablespoons chilli sauce
2 tablespoons tomato ketchup
1 tablespoon sundried tomato paste or tomato puree
2 tablespoons olive oil
2-3 spring onions ,finely chopped

Method:

1.Place the paneer in a bowl and drizzle 1 tablespoon oil.Toss and coat the paneer cubes in oil.
2.Place the paneer on a baking try and grill ,turning occasionally to brown all sides.(Dont over cook , paneer just needs to take golden colour, otherwise paneer will go chewy)
