This Chilli Garlic Paneer is a quick and easy starter which you can prepare within 30 minutes. Chilli garlic paneer is prepared by grinding Kashmiri chillies, garlic pods along with vinegar, salt and then sautéed with onions and bell peppers.
If you have a sudden guest or friend you can prepare this starter without thinking anything. The flavour of garlic and Kashmiri chillies was very good. Initially, I thought my kids will not like this as I added garlic but to my surprise, they loved it very much and asked to make it again.
This Paneer recipe is my kids’ favourite starter now, especially my son loves paneer very much. If I give him paneer every day also, he will not say no. He likes Paneer finger, Paneer Tikka also very much.
