Green chilli curry became Bengaluru's cult dish because of how it tastes — bright, sharp heat from fresh green chillies, not the slow burn of red chilli powder. The spice is immediate and clean.

This paste captures that fresh green chilli base. Paneer works exceptionally well here — the fresh chilli heat cuts through the richness of the cheese the same way it cuts through chicken. Add your protein, cook it down in 20 minutes, serve with parotta or rice.
