1. Toast the cumin seeds in a heavy pan to darken - about 30 seconds. Crush roughly with a rolling pin, then tip into a blender with the chilli, ginger, yogurt, sugar, garam masala, coriander, lime juice, tomato purée and 200ml/7fl oz water. Blitz until smooth.
2. Pour the sauce into a saucepan. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring often. Add the peas and simmer for 3-5 minutes until almost cooked.
3. Stir in the paneer and tomato and heat through for 2-3 minutes. Scatter with cashews.

'The mildly spiced sauce is a happy medium for two people who like different strength curries.'

  I doubled up on the recipe to serve 4 people, but it was too watery. If I made it again, I would double up on everything but just add 200ml water. The sauce tasted really lovely and fresh though.

  I needed to cook the tomatoes through at the end for more like 10-12 mins to soften them up. Nice flavours but very high in sat fat to have too often.
