What is Chilli Paneer

Cooking the Chili Paneer
You can cook a dry version of this dish, which is how I did it today. Alternatively you can have a more saucy dish if you prefer. The difference is the extra water that you add to turn it into a saucy dish.
Personally I prefer the Dark Soy Sauce for this dish. However, you can use light soy sauce too if you wish. The dark soy sauce is definitely richer, thicker and a little sweeter than the Light Soy Sauce. It is also not as salty as the light soy sauce. So I think it works really well for this Chilli Paneer. I hope you love this recipe as much as we do. If you do try it please drop me a comment and a star rating, it is always appreciated.
