Paneer Lal Mirch
Paneer lal mirch contains red pepper flakes which gives a peppery taste to the paneer dish. The gravy is made up of chopped onion and yogurt mixed with a bunch of spices. If you love the taste of red chilies you will definitely like this dish. I have used red pepper flakes to moderately spice up the dish however you can make it hot as per your liking.
