Chilli paneer is essentially crispy pieces of paneer (cheese) tossed in an array of flavourful sauces and aromatics. It’s often served alone as an appetiser, but can also be served with rice/noodles or naan. This dish is always on our menu whenever we’re ordering a takeout from our favourite Indian restaurant. It’s a dish that varies so much between restaurants and often sets the standard for the rest of the menu. My family will always point out wherever they’ve had a good chilli paneer – there’s something about chilli paneer that makes it so memorable.
