Chilli Paneer dry is a spicy, oriental type of dish made with fresh chillis, cheese (paneer), onions and spices. Cheese chilli dry has two major variations, one uses tomato ketchup to give it tangy tomato ketchup flavor and second is without using tomato ketchup. I personally like the second version which is without tomato ketchup which gives more spicy feeling. Why don’t you try both and see which one attracts your taste buds more.
