Craving Authentic Chilli Paneer? Try TEMPLE STREET’s Savour the Delightful Flavours

There is a magic moment when you have a craving. You’ve had a long day, your stomach is grumbling, and you start conjuring images of something hot, fresh, and flavourful. For us at Temple Street, we always think of the same thing - Chilli Paneer.

You know the one. Golden cubes of paneer, soft on the inside, with just enough crisp to give that perfect bite on the outside. Tossed with zingy peppers, sweet onions, and a sauce that presents the right balance of spicy, tangy, and savoury. It's the type of dish that fills your tummy and elevates your spirits.

Some say Chilli Paneer is just food. We say it’s comfort, celebration, and joy served on a plate. And here at Temple Street, whether you love it dry with that irresistible wok-tossed texture, silky and indulgent in gravy, or paired with our signature fried rice, we make sure every bite is worth remembering.

Our Dry chilli paneer Crisp, Fresh, and Bursting with Flavor

The Dry chilli paneer, we let the textures come through in this dish. The moment we drop the paneer cubes into the hot wok, you can feel and smell it before it even hits your table. We can see it in the sizzle, we can smell it in the garlic and fresh green chilies being released. The crunch of the colourful red and green peppers, the sweetness of the onions, and then the depths of flavour from the house-blend sauces and you have a dish that is delicious even before sitting down to eat.

What makes our paneer dry dishes unique? Freshness. We never compromise quality. Our paneer is always fresh and soft, cut into hefty cubes that make each bite decadently enriching. The spices are balanced just right bold and exciting and not overpowering the natural creamy-ness of the paneer.

Ideal for sharing with friends over laughter and stories, or as a starter when you're feeling self-indulgent, our Dry chilli paneer is that comforting yet exciting dish you come back to time and time again.

Gravy Chilli Paneer Comfort in a Bowl

Sometimes you just need a food category that feels like a hug. That's exactly what happened with our Gravy Chilli Paneer. We made it smooth, bold, and rich. Our sauce had a great body and clung to every little cube of paneer to create a delicious covering of impossible to resist flavours! 

Our gravy starts with a base of garlic and ginger that were slow sautéed in just the right amount of the freshest vegetables to create texture and a hint of sweetness. The flavour is perfectly balanced through a sweet and heat stability, seasoned with soy sauce and our secret spice mix. We cooked it just long enough for a complexity of flavour to develop without losing the fresh flavours of the key ingredients, giving a great texture that goes well with steamed rice, noodles, or if you ask us, just big spoon.

Where our dry Chilli Paneer is the life of the party, our gravy version is comfort food at its best perfect for rainy evenings, family meals, and those times you just want to curl up and savor something deeply satisfying.

The Star Combo Fried Rice with Chilli Paneer Gravy

Now, let’s talk about one of our all-time crowd favourites: Fried Rice with Chilli Paneer Gravy.

This is the type of combination that will cause you to question the word “meal.” It’s indulgent enough for a weekend treat, but balanced enough for any day. Our fried rice is made with perfectly cooked rice (you won't see any clumping), tossed with bright vegetables, a dash of ginger, and just enough seasoning to allow the freshness to shine.

Now combine that with our glorious gravy Chilli Paneer and magic just happens. Every mouthful will be a mix of fluffy rice soaked in bold, spicy-savoury sauce, and melty paneer pieces for that satisfying bite. There’s a reason this pairing has its own loyal fan club. It is the go-to order for a lot of our regulars, it is the one dish that cannot let you down no matter how many times you’ve ordered it!

What Makes Temple Street’s Chilli Paneer Different?

We think the best food begins with the best ingredients. That’s why we source fresh, quality produce, like crunchy peppers, onions with their natural sweetness and paneer soft enough to spread. We make all the sauces in-house, and we only make Chilli Paneer after an order comes in because we know freshness matters.  

We do not take shortcuts. You can tell from the way the vegetables retain a slight bite, the paneer never chews, or even our flavours, which are layered, not one-noted. Whether we are making the dry or gravy version, our challenge is always to balance heat, tang, and umami, so you come back for more at every bite.

And yes, we take pride in the little things the crunch of a just-sautéed pepper, the peppery kick you feel at the back of your throat, the way the aroma fills the air when the dish arrives at your table. These details add soul to every plate.
