Chilli Paneer Recipe - Dry Version

Chilli Paneer Recipe - Dry Version

I am an addictive personality of paneer.  I knew it has high protein and fat in it but still can’t control eating it.  Very often I make paneer side-dishes for chapathis. TH loves Kadai paneer so much and I wanted to make some different out of paneer. Last week we had chilli chicken in the nearby Indian restaurant and it was awesome. I wanted to make it at home. I had some left over paneer cubes in my fridge, so replaced chicken with paneer  This time we had with jeera rice instead with the usual chapathi
