Restaurant Style Chilli Paneer recipe

 It is tough to imagine Indian cuisine without cottage cheese or paneer. If the non-vegetarians have their ever-so-versatile chicken, then vegetarians have for long taken pride in their most beloved 'paneer' which can blend in any dry or gravy preparation. There are many health benefits in consuming paneer. I will list out a few.

 It is rich in proteins and also strengthens bones and teeth. Cottage cheese is packed with magnesium which helps in maintaining blood sugar levels. It also has phosphorous which along with magnesium aids in digestion along with preventing constipation. Paneer is also packed with linoleic acid (a fatty acid) which increases the fat burning process in your body.

That is enough on health benefits of Cottage cheese / Paneer. Now lets see how to make a very tasty dish with Paneer. Making Chilli Paneer at home is very easy. The dish is very delicious and can be eaten with roti and rice. There are mainly two steps in making this dish.
