PANEER WITH PEAS

Preparation Method :

• Heat the oil in a frying pan over a medium heat and fry the paneer pieces in batches until they are a light brown colour all over. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.
• Reheat the pan, add the whole spices to the same pan and fry for about half a minute.
• Remove from the heat and pour in a cup of water, the ground spices and a pinch of salt. Bring to the boil and when the oil separates from the water, add little water if needed.
• Gently slide the paneer into the saucepan with the water and spices. Cover and cook for about 3-5 minutes.
• Pour the yogurt whisked into the saucepan with the paneer and water if needed. Partially cover and cook for about 10-12 minutes or until the sauce thickens.
• Boil the peas for 5 minutes or until the peas are ready to eat. Add to the paneer. Cook for a further 3-5 minutes. Finally add in the chopped coriander and the crushed cardamom.
• Serve with Basmati Rice.
