Method
- Heat the oil in a lidded frying pan over a medium heat and fry the paneer, in batches if needed, for 1½ mins each side or until light golden. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
- Add the garlic and ginger to the pan, cook for 1 min, then add the onion and 1¼ tsp salt. Stir in the peppers and spices, cook for 2 mins, then add the tomatoes and 200ml water. Bring to a simmer, cover, then cook over a low heat for 10 mins, stirring occasionally, until thickened.
- Stir in the paneer, re-cover and cook for 2 mins. Scatter with the fresh coriander and remove from the heat. Serve with rice or naan and lime pickle, if you like.
