Chilli Paneer

Indo Chinese fusions like chilli or manjoorian dishes has a special taste. very popular as well… more popular with chicken , But taste equally good with paneer or Gobi.
Increasing demand for paneer dishes made me cook this chilli paneer... :)
Chilli paneer  is a spicy dish which can be served  as an appetizer, it tastes great with fried rice and noodles .
Here is my version of chilli Paneer which I love to have anytime a day. The same for my kids also..  :) 
You can make it spicy by increasing the amount of green chillies.  As always I made it less spicy.
