    p. 123 – This is one of my personal favourite Indian restaurant dishes and Madhur’s version didn’t disappoint. The only gripe I have with this recipe is the quantity of chilies called for: 4-5 hot green chilies finely chopped. I used 2 and my paneer was super-hot. Obviously heat varies from chili to chili but I honestly can’t imagine using 5 of any chili in this dish. I also think this is the first time I’ve fried paneer and I can’t say I enjoyed the experience. Despite removing some of the moisture from the cheese with a paper towel, those little cubes of paneer splattered like crazy. I quickly grabbed my splatter guard but even when I lifted it to turn the cubes, I managed to get burned (nothing serious thank goodness) as hot oil splattered in my face. That said, the dish was outstanding. mr bc doesn’t especially love Indian food or paneer and he “loved” this dish. Photo here: http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/915303#8337651
