  Fantastically tasty, the paneer is so versatile, although I would cut down the amount of red and green pepper you put on the top.

  I usually make sag paneer, but this was a great alternative. My family preferred slightly less honey.

  This was lovely. Good texture and tasted very fresh. 100% better than a takeway. I also added peas which made it even more colourful.

  This recipe was nice but I think I have heard of better recipes for a similar dish that makes the paneer taste better - I think the paneer would have benefited from cooking in the spices rather than in oil. I added spinach which works well.

  My boyfriend really enjoyed this but I found it a bit rich - I added peas as recommended by Frantic Flapjack and thought they added a good contrast.

  I used Halloumi cheese instead and followed others advice and cooked it in the spices rather than in the oil. It was so tastey and full of flavour. Very hot/spicey though so would be fantastic as a side dish rather than the main part of the meal.

  this I loved, the honey gives it a slight sweetness that is delightful and the peppers and spring onions just make it taste wonderful and fresh :)

  Nice but would be nicer with halloumi as the cheese tasted very bland.

  HI Guy If you didn't notice this is an indian vegitarian dish and halloumi contains rennet therefore not suitable for veggies. The dish is great in its original format as made by Atul.

  i have to be at a pot-luck in half n hour, so Ive just made this, and its actually lovely. didnt take half as long as it says, and the honey really makes this dish. if u cant taste the honey then increase the amount by a drizzle or so, and the dish will transform into something yummy indeed! i also added finely chopped pepper for the crunch, right at the end. and i didnt separately fry the paneer either - who's got the time??? - just threw it in right at the very beginning with the spices. and i added whole cumin seeds at the beginning too, just coz i had some that needed using up. all in all a flexible dish thats quick n easy to prepare.
