Many of us love Indo- Chinese flavors. The most common ones are Manchurian, Noodles, Stir Fried Veggies ,Chinese Fried rice to name a few. Chilli Paneer is usually served as starter along with your Indo-Chinese menu. Alternately you can serve this semi gravy as a side dish along with fried rice or noodles. I like both dry and semi gravy versions.

My contribution to our 37^th #Foodiemonday #Bloghop theme #Indochinese is Chilli Paneer (Semi Dry) which can be made within 20 Minutes with an additional prep time of 10 mins.
