Dry Chilli Paneer - Dry Chilly with Indian Cheese Recipe

This appetizer tastes very good and it is very easy to make. It takes very less time to cook. It is served as starter but, few like to have it with Stuffed paratha's.

**Note: 
1) If you want to have chilli paneer in gravy, mix 2 tbsp of cornflour into 1 cup of  vegetable stock and add it into our dry-chili paneer mixture. Add salt and chillies as per taste and increase the quantity of soya sauce by 1 tbsp.
2) If Indian Cheese/Paneer is not available, you can also use Tofu.
