Chilly Paneer (Contributed by: Faith)

I love paneer but always find it a hassle to goto the out-of-the-way Indian store. So, when Faith told me that she made paneer, I was skeptic at first but still asked her to send me the recipe. We were celebrating Republic Day on 26th evening and so I thought it will be a great potluck recipe to bring. I got the paneer and rest is history. All the paneer was finished in the party, so it was a hit of some sorts. I loved it so much that didn't wanted to take it to the party at first but had no other choice.

This is a fusion paneer with a Chinese flavors to it. So, Thank You Faith for keeping the chulha burning...
