Ingredients
- 2 x 225g packs paneer
- 1½ tbsp medium curry powder
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 tsp nigella seeds (or cumin seeds), plus a pinch
- 1 large onion, finely sliced
- ½ cauliflower (about 450g), cut into small florets
- 450g cherry tomatoes, halved
- 150g frozen peas
- 4 tbsp natural yogurt
Step by step
- Cut the paneer into 1-1.5cm cubes and toss with 1 tablespoon of curry powder and some seasoning. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a frying pan and fry the paneer in 2 batches over a high heat until crisp and golden. Remove to a plate.
- Add the rest of the oil to the pan and add the nigella seeds and onion plus a pinch of salt. Cook over a medium heat until golden brown and starting to soften, 5-6 minutes. Stir in the rest of the curry powder and the cauliflower florets and toss to coat well.
- Mix in the tomatoes, about 75ml water and seasoning. Bring to a simmer, cover and cook for 5-7 minutes until the tomatoes have softened and the cauliflower is almost tender.
-
Add the peas and paneer and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring once or twice. Serve drizzled with yogurt, sprinkled with extra nigella seeds, with flatbread or naan for dipping.TipSlim it down
Use just 1 pack of paneer, then add a whole cauli rather than half, for more bulk.
