Honey Chilli Paneer 🍯

A perfect balance of sweet, spicy, and tangy flavours, this Honey Chilli Paneer is a quick Indo-Chinese appetizer that's crispy on the outside and coated in a glossy, flavour-packed sauce. Perfect for parties or as a delicious evening snack!

For this recipe, I used Tru Coco B Honey, which adds a natural sweetness and gives the sauce a beautiful glossy finish without overpowering the other flavours. Made with pure honey, it blends beautifully into the sauce, creating the perfect sweet-and-spicy balance in every bite.
