Method

  1. 1

    Add the fried paneer cubes and boiled green peas. Toss to coat in the gravy.

  3. 3

    Simmer 5 minutes so the paneer drinks in the flavour. Add a splash of water if the gravy thickens too much.

    Finish with a swirl of fresh cream and a shower of chopped coriander. Serve with naan or jeera rice.
