November 27, 2015 by Nithya Leave a comment

Chilli Paneer is a yummy Indo Chinese which is loved by kids and grown ups too.I prepared this last week as a starter when I had guests at home.I have never tried this athome,but only had a few times whenever we chanced to eat out.It is a dry version, but you can make the gravy type as well.

I first tasted onion rings at a party held in my hubby’s friend’s place.I thought it was bhajji and when i ate it’s taste was peculiar and different.Was thinking of how to ask the hostess,she came to me and said don’t miss onion rings.Then i knew it was not bhajji.I then asked her and she gave me the simplest of all recipes of onion rings.It is made out of maida and corn flour and not with besan.And the more important ingredient here is the buttertmilk.Some people add eggs,but being a hard core vegetarian,i avoided.You can makethis for a starter or…
