Mutter Paneer -- Indian Cheese Curry

Time: 35 mins

Ingredients

• 250 g paneer cheese, cubed
• 1 medium onion, chopped finely
• 1 (400 g) can chopped tomatoes
• 1 cup frozen peas
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1 teaspoon ground coriander
• 1 1/2 teaspoons garam masala
• 1 teaspoon turmeric
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon salt
• oil, for frying
• cilantro, chopped (to garnish)

Directions

• 1 Put a little bit of oil in a deep, heavy bottomed frying pan and brown the cheese, turning frequently so no sides burn. When it is browned, set aside on a plate.
• 2 Add more oil, if needed, to the pan and throw in the onions.
• 3 Let them fry until golden, then add the garlic and spices.
• 4 Fry some more for a couple minutes, then add the tin of tomatoes and about 1/2 cup of water.
• 5 Let simmer for about five minutes, then put in the fried cheese and peas and simmer covered over a low heat for about 20 minutes.
• 6 Check the consistency and simmer some more if needed to bring it down to a thickness you like.
• 7 Serve with rice and other Indian curries of your choice.
