Method

  • step 1

    Trim the broccoli and boil or steam for 5-6 mins until tender but firm to the bite. Drain and cool under cold running water. Heat the oil in a wok or large frying pan, then add the asafoetida, cumin seeds, sesame seeds, chilli, mustard seeds and the curry leaves. Cook for 1 min until fragrant, then add the onion and cook another 2 mins.

  • step 2

    Throw in the paneer, ginger and garlic, and season. Cook on a medium heat for 4-5 mins until the paneer turns golden. Add the broccoli and mix through the paneer and spices, then add lemon juice, mace and twist of pepper.

RECIPE TIPS
INDIAN INGREDIENTS

Curry leaves can be bought fresh from Indian shops, or dried from some supermarkets. They freeze very well. Asafoetida is a pungent powdered spice used in Indian cooking. It has a very powerful onion flavour so should always be used sparingly.

I was disappointed with this recipe. We found the mace overpowering and couldn't taste anything else. Won't be rushing to cook this again!

Really like this, make it often. Very tasty. I also pre-fry the paneer a bit as suggested. Really flavoursome but no gloppy sauce. Yum.

Gorgeous dish. I followed a tip below and fried the paneer before doing the rest of the dish and then adding it back in at the end, just to make sure it got really golden. Also I didn’t have curry leaves but it was fine without. I would suggest serving this with a dahl or other wet curry though, as…

Very nice, light meal. My suggestion would be to maybe fry the paneer in a little oil before doing the rest of the dish, and then just mix it through towards the end. I had trouble getting my paneer "golden brown". Tasty though :o) Will be doing again if I feel in a paneer buying mood :o)
