Paneer-Do-Mirchi dish is surprisingly different to hear and the flavours are quite distinct from other well known PANEER/ COTTAGE CHEESE dishes. Actually, paneer dishes are widely relished in my family, so I have to go on experimenting with paneer to create many more and interesting ones with this wonderful n versatile ingredient.

Paneer Do Mirchi

This dish is prepared with 2 types of chillies and you will be surprised to know that still it is not spicy. I believe that too much spices always overpower the main dish n kids do not relish it. The chillies I have used in this dish are , One is red bell pepper and the other is fresh red Kashmiri Mirch. Both the peppers are not spicy but contain a little sweetness in them and when we sauté them at full flame they become charred, giving the smoky flavours and aromas. Smoked Paprika or Kashmiri red chilly powder enhances its flavours and tomatoes give the body to this curry. I have not added onions to this dish as these ruin the flavour of smoked peppers. Very easy to prepare this dish requires only a few ingredients and the result is definetely overwhelming
