For my friends and family and for those of you that have been following for a while, you’ll know that my obsession with chilli paneer is REAL! For years I’ve trialled and tested different ways of making a similar chilli paneer to my much loved chilli paneer from Sakonis. After 18 years of going, I have FINALLY mustered up a recipe that resembles it somewhat! It’s absolutely delicious and the best part? The paneer is air fried so it’s kinda healthy right?! I don’t use MSG (ajinimoto) which is commonly found in restaurant indo Chinese food and is known to enhance flavours.
Enjoy!
Cooking time: 25 minutes
Serves: 4 depending on how much they love paneer 😉
Ingredients:
Paneer marinade:
1 tablespoon olive oil
500g cubed paneer
1 heaped tablespoon cornflour
3 tablespoon dark soy sauce
3 tablespoon light soy sauce
Mix together and air fry 20 min/till cooked. We have a Tefal XL Family Airfryer. If you dont have an airfryer, you can deep fry.
