7. Add fried paneer cubes and dissolved corn

gravy turns thick.

8. Turn off flame and transfer prepared Chinese

veg paneer chilli dry to serving dish. Garnish it

with spring onion and serve hot with soup or

fried rice.

Tips and Variations:

You can also shallow fry paneer cubes instead of deep-frying them to reduce the

calories of a dish. To shallow fry them, heat 1-2 tablespoons cooking oil in frying pan

and then put marinated paneer cubes in it. Let them shallow fry for few seconds and

then turn its side. Follow this step until all sides are shallow fried.

Marinating paneer cubes with a paste of maida and corn flour adds nice flavor to this

dish as they will slowly soak water from the paste. However, if you are in hurry, then

coat them with medium thick paste and directly proceed to deep-fry without waiting for

marinating in step 3.

Adjust the quantity of chilli sauce according to your liking to make it as spicy as you

want it.

Use non-stick pan or heavy based pan to avoid sticking.

Taste: Hot and spicy

Serving Ideas: Serve chilli paneer dry with soup in winter evenings to quickly warm up the

body or serve it with Chinese fried rice or schezwan rice as a side accompaniment.

Very tempting and delicious too. i used red chill sauce to make it spicier and it was well worth

the change. However, i missed the photos in the print friendly version.
