  2. Heat the oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat. Season, then fry the paneer for 2-3 mins on each side until golden. Move the paneer to the edge of the pan and add the garam masala, garlic, chilli and reserved cooking water. Cook for 2 mins, then return broccoli to the pan, with the lemon zest and juice. Toss everything together to heat through and serve with warm naan breads.

Just too much lemon, maybe my lemon was too large? It bleached the broccoli and therefore looked really unappetising. I could hardly taste the other ingredients.

Absolutely delicious!!!! Fresh, zingy and surprisingly filling as a main course. Worked well with a cauli and broccoli mix. Making it again tonight, at this rate I could easily turn vegetarian!
