Even though Paneer Kali Mirch is not well known, this delicious recipe can usually be found on the menus of some North Indian restaurants. Kali mirch or black pepper is the highlight of this dish, bringing the heat and all the flavour without overpowering the gravy with its pungency. Relish the subtle notes and hints of kali mirch in this recipe using our 100% natural Black Pepper Vegan Mayo and enjoy the gravy with a roti or a phulka.
Chef’s note:
