This is a popular Indian dish that is easy to make.
Ingredients
- 1 small can tomato puree (~15 oz) shopping list
- 1 small can peas (~15 oz) shopping list
- 1 medium onion shopping list
- 3 cloves garlic shopping list
- 1 small piece of ginger, equivalent to amount of garlic shopping list
- 1 tablespoon curry powder, or a combination of spices to taste shopping list
- 6 tablespoons of ghee or vegetable oil shopping list
- 1 lb paneer (half of what is made in my recipe for paneer) shopping list
How to make it
- Cut paneer into approximately 1 inch cubes. In a large skillet or pan, fry the paneer in the oil or ghee until the cubes are browned. Remove these from the oil and place on a plate covered with a paper towel to soak up the oil. Do not pour out the oil.
- Mince onions, garlic, and ginger. If a food processor or blender is available, blend these together into a paste, but if not just mince them as finely as possible. Place this mixture in the oil and fry until caramelized and slightly browned.
- Add tomato puree. Blend into a paste first if a food processor is available. Add spices to taste. Add sugar to cut the acidity if you like.
- Add peas and paneer to the mixture. Combine well and let sit until hot. If you blended the tomatoes and onions to a paste you should have a sauce, which more water can be added to if it has evaporated some. Add more spices if necessary.
