Instructions
 

Make the White Sauce

  • Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until lightly browned. Gradually whisk in milk until smooth. Reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens slightly (about 5-7 minutes). Stir in mozzarella cheese until melted and smooth.

Combine and Simmer

  • Add the slit green chilies, salt, black pepper, oregano, and mixed herbs to the white sauce. Stir well to combine.

Add Paneer and Finish

  • Add the paneer cubes to the sauce. Gently stir to coat the paneer evenly. Turn off the heat. Cover the pan and let it sit for 5 minutes to allow the paneer to heat through and absorb the flavors.

Serve

  • Garnish with finely chopped green chilies and serve hot with roti, naan, or rice.

Recipe Notes

Expert Tips for the Best Paneer Chilli

  • For extra creaminess, use full-fat milk and cream cheese instead of mozzarella.
  • Adjust the amount of green chilies based on your spice preference. Start with fewer and add more if needed.
  • Don't overcook the paneer; it should be tender but not mushy.
  • For a richer flavor, add a pinch of garam masala or turmeric to the white sauce.
