Method

  • step 1

    Heat 1 tbsp of oil in a large non-stick frying pan, add the paneer and fry gently until crisp. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside. Add the remaining oil and the cauliflower to the pan, and cook for 10 mins until browned. Add the onions, and a little more oil if needed, and cook for a further 5 mins until softened. Stir in the garlic and curry paste, then pour in the passata and 250ml water, and season. Bring to a simmer, then cover and cook for 18-20 mins or until the cauliflower is just tender.

  • step 2

    Add the frozen peas and crispy paneer to the pan and cook for a further 5 mins. Stir through most of the coriander and garnish with the rest. Serve with basmati rice or naan bread, raita or your favourite chutney.

Really nice recipe, and has become a favourite. I air fry the cauliflower and the paneer. Have found Halloumi also works well. Prefer using my own spice mix.

Crispy paneer - what a joke. It just dissolved into a mess in the pan, which I then had to soak and scrub before I could carry on (having my big pan intending to reuse for the veg as instructed in the recipe). I ended up with a mere spoonful of what looked like cottage cheese to stir in at the end.…

Do you freeze at the end of the recipe? Never tried to freeze cooked paneer before so just checking!
