Tia's tip

​

While cooking the curry you may need to add a little water. Put the water into the passata bottle first and swish it round as then you will have tomato water.

What do we do?

​

  • Place the paneer on one of the chopping boards and cut into small squares with the table knife.

  • Put the saucepan on a medium heat, add a little oil and half of the paneer. Cook until lightly brown on each side.

  • Once cooked remove from the saucepan and put it on a plate. 

  • Add a little more oil to the pan and the second half of paneer. Follow the instructions above. 

  • On the other chopping board cut the onion in half and slice each half thinly.

  • Add the onion to the saucepan with the remaining oil and cook slowly until soft.

  • While the onion is cooking cut the pepper into small pieces.

  • Add the pepper to the saucepan along with the garlic paste, curry paste and garam masala. Stir all the ingredients well and cook for 1-2 minutes.

  • Add the passata and allow to cook for 2-3 minutes before adding the peas. 

  • Once the peas have been added simmer the curry for 5 more minutes. If you think it is looking dry, please add a little water.

  • Put the coriander (leaves and stalks) in a cup and cut finely with scissors.

  • Once cooked stir in the paneer.

  • Add salt, pepper and coriander to season the dish.

 

Enjoy!
