Paneer Lababdar in Winnipeg

(118 reviews)

Cubes of our own house-made paneer, simmered in the chef's special masala — a velvety blend of slow-cooked tomato, onion, cashew and cream finished with crushed kasuri methi. Vegetarian, gluten-free, and one of the most ordered dishes on the Chilli Chutney menu.

Paneer Lababdar at Chilli Chutney Street Kitchen Winnipeg - House-made paneer in creamy chef's special masala

About Our Paneer Lababdar

We make our paneer fresh in-house every day — no shortcuts, no preservatives. The cottage cheese is set, pressed, and cubed within hours of curdling, which gives it a soft, milky texture that melts in your mouth.

Lababdar literally means 'lip-smacking' in Urdu, and the recipe lives up to the name. The masala is built layer by layer: tempered whole spices, slow-cooked onion-tomato base, cashew cream for body, and a hand-crushed dried fenugreek finish that gives the curry its signature aroma.

Made With House-Crafted Paneer

Everything from the paneer to the chutneys, naan doughs and spice blends is made from scratch at our Kenaston Blvd kitchen. That is why our regulars say no two Indian restaurants in Winnipeg taste the same as Chilli Chutney.

"A friend took me to this authentic Indian Cuisine restaurant for the lunch buffet. It has easy access and plenty of parking. We were greeted and seated quickly. We decided on the lunch buffet, which had many items, and I had to try them all. All was delicious, and our server was very good. I would definitely return."

"We decided to try this restaurant because we heard that they have a lunch buffet. We really loved the buffet. They had lots to choose from and the butter chicken was very good plus all the food we tried. We will be back and we will bring other people with us."
