Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 250 g paneer cheese cubed
  • 1 medium onion finely chopped
  • 1 400 g can chopped tomatoes
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons garam masala
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • oil for frying
  • cilantro chopped (to garnish)

Method
 

  1. Put a little bit of oil in a deep, heavy bottomed frying pan. Brown the cheese, turning frequently so no sides burn. When it is browned, set aside on a plate.
  2. Add a little more oil to the pan and throw in the onions. Let them fry until golden, then add the garlic and spices.
  3. Fry some more for a couple minutes, then add the tin of tomatoes and about 1/2 cup of water.
  4. Let simmer for about five minutes, then put in the fried cheese and peas and simmer covered over a low heat for about 20 minutes.
  5. Check the consistency and simmer some more if needed to bring it down to a thickness you like.
  6. Serve with rice.
