Your taste buds must already be watering at the thought of what recipe i will be posting today. Its an Asian cuisine albeit, from the land of the Crouching tiger......yes China it is. The indianised version of the Chinese cuisine is very popular among the younger desi janta.
My first tryst with Chinese cuisine was at a local food hotspot in Ahmedabad- Rasranjan's food court almost 6 years back. Their version of paneer chilly dry and hakka noodles was simply inimitable. We got so hooked to it that my mom decided to give it a try herself. Her speciality however is Chinese veg fried rice and veg manchurian. In New York, you can still find a couple of good places which dish out Indian Chinese cuisine. So i never took it upon myself to give it a try. However after moving to Florida, the longing for Chinese food got the better of me and i decided to take a shot at it.
So heres my version of the starter- Paneer Chili (this is the Dry version)- will post the recipe for the sauce version later
