Squeaky Cheese & Peas Curry

This is an amazingly simple little curry, using traditional indian cheese called paneer (available in the vegetarian chilled section of Coop) You get the frying pan nice and hot before browning the cheese on all sides before throwing into the curry to soak up the spices.

Ingredients

1 onion

half a chilli

2 cloves of garlic

Thumb-sized knob of ginger

½ tsp ground ginger

½ tsp ground cinnamon

½ hot chilli powder

1 tsp turmeric

1 tsp ground coriander

1tsp ground cumin

½ pt veg stock

1 x tinned tomatoes

125ml red lentils

½ pint veg stock

1 tblsp white wine vinegar

Pinch of sugar

A handful of frozen peas

1 packet paneer cheese
Fresh coriander (Optional but well worth it!)

Finely chop 1 onion, half a chilli, 2 cloves of garlic and a thumb-sized knob of ginger and fry for 5 minutes. Add spices and cookout for a further two minutes. Add tinned tomatoes, white wine vinegar and sugar. Add stock and lentils and cook for 25 minutes. Cut paneer into 2cm cubes and fry in a hot pan until golden on all sides. Add to curry and cook for another 5 minutes. Serve with basmati rice, a soft tortilla and a good glob of mango chutney on the side (both available in Coop) A handful of fresh coriander on serving really bumps this amazing dish up another notch ;)
