Chilli Paneer Gravy ~ Restaurant Style Recipe

This easy Chilli Paneer Gravy is a typical Restaurant Style Recipe using fried paneer along with vegetables. It's a fusion recipe typically following the Indo-Chinese style.

For the Thali & Spreads Mega Marathon we did, I had planned for an Indo-Chinese Platter. My kids love Noodles and paneer. So decided to make a combination of their favorite dishes to make a platter.

This Indo-Chinese Platter was a total hit with my kids. The menu had dishes that complimented each other like these Bread Manchurian, Chilli Paneer Gravy, Honey Chilli Potato, Veg Chow Mein, and Honeyed Noodles with Vanilla Ice Cream for dessert.

I had even cooked a fusion platter that had Chinese Bhel, Garlic Noodles, Paneer Tacos.
