Ingredients

1 small can tomato puree (~15 oz)

1 small can peas (~15 oz)

1 medium onion

3 cloves garlic

1 small piece of ginger, equivalent to amount of garlic

1 tablespoon curry powder, or a combination of spices to taste

6 tablespoons of ghee or vegetable oil

1 lb paneer (half of what is made in my recipe for paneer)

Directions

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.
