I love the combination of onion and garlic and these always amazes me to the amount I use it in my food. Paneer fusion in Garlic sauce is my husband’s one of the favorite dish. This delicious Indian dish is actually adapted from Chinese recipe.Cottage cheese and garlic both have some well-known medical properties.These helps to enhance your body strength.

Side Dishes go with Paneer in Hot Garlic Sauce:
You can use any Chinese Main course food like Hakka Noodles, Fried rice or Steam rice with this dish. I personally try it with Egg masala rice for lunch and it is really good combination.
To make Egg masala rice, you just add the Chicken masala, fried onion and scrambled egg with the plain steam rice and fry it once more.
Note:
1. Most of people do not use onion for this recipe.It is my personal choice and taste.
2. There is no need to fry the onion, capsicum and panner.But for best result you can do this.
3. Vinegar is always good but my personal choice is Lemon juice in place of Vinegar.
4. This recipe is best in Microwave but also can cook in gas.So you can try.
