Chilli Garlic Paneer

This Delicious spicy Chilli Garlic Paneer stir-fry is ideal for a quick snack or as a starter. Also, it has a hint of a sweet and sour taste. It is very easy to prepare and only takes 20 minutes.

Paneer is Indian cottage cheese with a firm texture. It doesn’t melt, and it has no flavour, which makes it like a blank canvas that allows absorbing whatever flavours and seasoning we use.

In India, you can buy it in the store, but homemade Paneer tastes better, and it is easy to prepare. You can check my paneer recipe here…..

Instructions:

-Cut the Paneer into small cubes about 3cm x 3cm.

-In a blender put garlic cloves, red chillies, sugar, salt, and vinegar. Blend them with a little bit of water.

-Heat the oil in a frying pan. Add cumin seeds. When they start to sizzle add chopped onions.

-Fry the onion until transparent and add the chilli-garlic paste. Cook until the oil separates.

-Add paneer and stir-fry over high heat for a few seconds.

-Serve it hot with freshly chopped coriander on top.
