Ingredients

  • Coriander: small pack coriander, roughly chopped
  • Garlic Clove: 2 garlic cloves, crushed
  • Onion: 2 onions, thickly sliced
  • Passata: 500g carton passata
  • Frozen Pea: 200g frozen peas
  • Sunflower Oil: 2 tbsp sunflower oil
  • Paneer: 225g pack paneer, cut into cubes
  • Cauliflower: 1 head of cauliflower, broken into small florets
  • Tikka Masala Paste: 2 heaped tbsp tikka masala paste
  • Basmati Rice: basmati rice or naan breads, to serve
  • Raita: raita or your favourite chutney, to serve

Directions

  1. Heat 1 tbsp of oil in a large non-stick frying pan, add the paneer and fry gently until crisp. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside. Add the remaining oil and the cauliflower to the pan, and cook for 10 mins until browned. Add the onions, and a little more oil if needed, and cook for a further 5 mins until softened. Stir in the garlic and curry paste, then pour in the passata and 250ml water, and season. Bring to a simmer, then cover and cook for 18-20 mins or until the cauliflower is just tender.
  2. Add the frozen peas and crispy paneer to the pan and cook for a further 5 mins. Stir through most of the coriander and garnish with the rest. Serve with basmati rice or naan bread, raita or your favourite chutney.
