My next YouTube Live event where I will be cooking a Chilli Paneer and served with some pakora.
It seems that the Indian population just can’t get enough of the hybrid Indo-Chinese food that is so readily available across India. It is so popular that it’s served everywhere from roadside carts to markets to the very poshest restaurants. These spiced recipes with noodles, chicken, paneer and vegetables are all prepared using Chinese cooking styles but with an Indian flair that is perfect for the Indian palette.
This Chilli Paneer recipe contains flavours which are bold with lots of garlic, ginger and chilli (similar to Indian food I hear you say) the difference here is the use of soy and a little sugar to balance it out and create the delicious gravy for this dish.
I like to use Sriracha chilli sauce in my recipe which has garlic, chilli, vinegar and a flavour that works beautifully. But you can make a quick chilli sauce instead by blitzing chillies, garlic, salt, vinegar and sugar to a paste and use that if you prefer.
We are going to serve it with a lovely lemon rice.
