Method

  1. Fry the paneer in 2 tbsp of oil until golden brown. Scoop out. Fry the onion mix until fragrant, about 5 minutes. Stir in the spices, then the tomatoes and stock, and simmer for 10 mins until thickened. Add the paneer and peas and cook for 5 minutes.

Frozen goodness

Most peas are frozen directly after harvesting, which means they retain nearly all of their vitamins

    I tried this recipe out a couple of days ago. After years and years of watching my mother make this recipe i've never actually known how she does it, and i have never attempted to try to make anything indian in case i get it wrong. But this recipe was so simple and easy to follow, and it turned out great, except my sister pointed out that i needed to put a bit more chili powder in it, but it was great. I made my first indian meal and i am quite proud of myself :) Now i don't have any excuses when my parents ask me to make dinner :)

    Had this @ my daughters house in Winchester prior to going to see concert of Leonard Cohen (best singer songwriter in the world) in Bournmouth, perfect evening! recipe to die for and so simple as well. I usually cook French only, but I am doing it for my wife this Friday. I love my daughter who is such a nice person.

    This was really easy to make and tastes fantastic. I used 1/2tsp of cumin powder and 1/2tsp of corriander powder instead of the garam masala (just because I don't like gm). I used a tin of chopped tomatoes with no stock. I also added some fresh coriander at the end for an extra kick. If the mixture tastes a little bitter add some sugar. Will recommed to friends and make again.
