Chilli Paneer is an Indo-Chinese starter found in India where cubes of paneer cheese are fried until crisp then mixed with a spicy, vinegary chili sauce and peppers. I have put my twist on the dish by stuffing baby peppers with the paneer, but you can use normal-sized peppers either stuffed or dice them and stir fry with the paneer the sauce the traditional way.
