Chilly paneer is either served as a snack or as a side dish with Chinese fried rice, Schezwan rice, Chowmein, if it is chilly paneer gravy. Chilly paneer can be replaced with aloo or baby corn, but since paneer is my personal favorite I have made this recipe using paneer. The recipe of dry chilly paneer and gravy chilly paneer is almost the same. It is just the gravy that differs in the gravy one. I have pan fried the coated paneer in apan. These can also be deep fried, but these days we all have become more health conscious, so I preferred this way of roasting the paneer. The paneer has to be soft and moist. A dried piece of paneer will not at all give a good taste.
