Gather the following ingredients before you start cooking.
Ingredient | Quantity |
Hillers Paneer Chilli Masala | 1 packet (20 g) |
Paneer | 200 g, cut into cubes |
Capsicum | ½ cup, diced |
Onion | ½ cup, cut into cubes |
Water | 2 cups |
Cooking oil | 2–3 tablespoons |
Spring onions | As required, for garnishing |
Heat oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Add the diced onions and capsicum, then stir-fry for 2–3 minutes. Keep the vegetables slightly crunchy to achieve the perfect Indo-Chinese texture.
Add the paneer cubes to the pan and toss them gently with the sautéed vegetables. Cook for another minute, taking care not to break the paneer pieces.
In a separate bowl, combine Hillers Paneer Chilli Masala with 2 cups of water. Stir until the mixture is smooth and free of lumps. Pour the prepared sauce into the pan and mix everything well.
Allow the mixture to simmer for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally. As the sauce cooks, it will thicken and coat the paneer and vegetables with a rich, flavourful layer.
Turn off the heat and garnish with chopped spring onions. Serve your homemade Paneer Chilli hot with Hakka noodles, fried rice, or steamed rice for a satisfying Indo-Chinese meal.
