Matar Paneer

Summary

Vegetarian - India

Ingredients

• 4 Tomato (large)
  Swaps (1)
• 1 Green Chilli
• 2 Ginger
• bunches Coriander
• 1 tablespoon Sunflower Oil
• 1 teaspoon Cumin
• Naan Bread (to serve)
• 1 teaspoon Turmeric
• 1 teaspoon Garam Masala
• 150 g Peas
• 225 g Paneer
  Swaps (1)

Instructions

1. 1

   Heat the oil in a frying pan over high heat until it’s shimmering hot. Add the paneer, then turn the heat down a little. Fry until it starts to brown at the edges, then turn it over and brown on each side – the paneer will brown faster than you think, so don’t walk away. Remove the paneer from the pan and drain on kitchen paper.

2. 2

   Put the ginger, cumin, turmeric, ground coriander and chilli in the pan, and fry everything for 1 min. Add the tomatoes, mashing them with the back of a spoon and simmer everything for 5 mins until the sauce smells fragrant. Add a splash of water if it’s too thick. Season well. Add the peas and simmer for a further 2 mins, then stir in the paneer and sprinkle over the garam masala. Divide between two bowls, top with coriander leaves and serve with naan bread, roti or rice.
