A fabulous vegetarian curry, which I got off a blog, - taste and fall in love! You can add a finely chopped hot chilli if you want to spice it up. Ingredients:
250 g paneer cheese, cubed |
1 medium onion, chopped finely |
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) |
Directions:
1. Put a little bit of oil in a deep, heavy bottomed frying pan and brown the cheese, turning frequently so no sides burn. When it is browned, set aside on a plate.
2. Add more oil, if needed, to the pan and throw in the onions.
3. Let them fry until golden, then add the garlic and spices.
4. Fry some more for a couple minutes, then add the tin of tomatoes and about 1/2 cup of water.
5. 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.
6. Check the consistency and simmer some more if needed to bring it down to a thickness you like.
7. Serve with rice and other Indian curries of your choice.
