I always like this as a side dish, although it can be served as a vegetarian main dish. I generally like to make several types of things when I cook Indian and I usually will cook this or palak paneer along with the others
2 cups paneer cheese, cubes
5 tablespoons vegetable (oil or 5 tablespoons ghee)
1 cup finely chopped onion
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
1 tablespoon minced garlic
2 teaspoons ground coriander
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
1 cup diced tomato, with juice
1/2 cup water
1 1/2 cups frozen green peas, thawed
1/2 cup chopped cilantro
Step 1
Heat 1-2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet and saute the paneer in batches (add more oil if necessary), until lightly browned, and drain on paper toweling.
Step 2
In a large pan, heat the 3 tbsp oil or ghee and cook the onion, ginger and garlic until the onion is tender, about 3-5 minutes.
Step 3
Add the coriander, cumin, salt, turmeric, and cayenne, and cook until the spices become fragrant, 1-2 minutes.
Step 4
Add the tomatoes and cook 2-3 minutes, stirring once or twice.
Step 5
Add the paneer, water, and peas and bring to a boil.
Step 6
Reduce heat and simmer for 8-10 minutes or until the sauce is thick and smooth.
Step 7
Garnish with cilantro before serving.
