Schezwan Paneer Canapes

This recipe is something tried by Nithya over at Nithya’s kitchen. It makes good use of the DIP Foods baked canapes. This recipe uses the canape base provided by DIP Foods and adds paneer and Schezwan sauce to it. Begin by cutting the paneer into cubes then placing the cubes in a blender and blending them till they crumble. Next, pour oil in a pan and place chopped ginger and garlic in it. Once the garlic turns brown add chopped capsicum and onion. Once the vegetables have become tender you can add soya or schezwan sauce and green chili sauce. Throw in the paneer and season with salt to taste. Finally, add some tomato sauce to the mixture. Allow your dish to cool, then serve on the canapes base. Be sure to make extra as these tend to disappear as soon as they are served!

Vegetable Fried Rice

This one’s a classic. You can add your own touch to this recipe by adding eggs, chicken or your favourite sauce.
