Ingredients
- 1 tbsp oil
- 1/2 onion chopped
- 1 carrot finely chopped
- 1 red pepper finely chopped
- 50g peas
- 4 garlic cloves minced
- 1/2 tbsp ginger paste
- 2 tbsp tomato puree
- 400g paneer sliced into cubes
- 1 tsp coriander
- 1 tsp garam masala
- 1/2 tsp cumin
- 1/2 tsp turmeric
- 1/4 tsp chilli
- 120ml single cream
- 1 tsp honey
- Salt & pepper to taste
- Fresh coriander for garnish
Instructions
- Heat the oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and fry for 3–4 minutes until soft and translucent.
- Stir in the minced garlic and ginger paste, cooking for another 1 minute until fragrant.
- Turn the heat down slightly. Add the tomato puree along with your ground spices stirring constantly for 1–2 minutes.
- Add the diced carrot and pepper to the pan, tossing them to coat in the spice paste. Pour in about 1/4 to 1/2 cup of water (just enough to create a thick sauce so the veggies can simmer). Cover and cook for 8–10 minutes until the carrots start to soften.
- Stir in the peas and the paneer cubes. Pour in the cream and stir thoroughly. Let everything simmer gently uncovered for 3–5 minutes so the paneer absorbs the flavours and heats through.
- Remove from the heat. Stir in the honey and season with salt & pepper to taste.
- Garnish generously with fresh coriander and serve hot with naan or rice.
