Instructions

1 Prep

Peel and chop the onion and garlic. Peel and grate the ginger.

2 Fry

Heat a pan over a medium-high heat. Once hot, add the butter, oil and onion. Fry the onion with a pinch of salt for 5 min. Add the garlic, ginger, coriander cumin powder, garam masala, turmeric, chilli powder (spicy!) and tomato paste. Cook for 3 min.

Tip! If cooking for kids, go easy on the chilli powder or completely omit it.

3 Simmer

Add the tomato passata, measured water, 0.5 vegetable stock cube, cooking cream and cashew nuts. Cover, reduce the heat to low and simmer gently for 15-20 min.

Tip! For extra creaminess, soak the cashew nuts in water for 2-4 hours. Why not fry the paneer cubes in a second pan before adding them to the curry?

4 Boil rice

Meanwhile, add the basmati rice, salt and the measured water to a pan with a lid and bring to a boil over a high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook for 10-12 min or until the water is absorbed and the rice is cooked. Remove the pan from the heat and keep covered until serving. Fluff with a fork before serving.

5 Blend

Blend the curry until smooth with a hand-held blender or in a food processor. If the sauce looks too thick, add a splash of water.

6 Serve

Chop the paneer cheese into cubes and add them to the pureed curry. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 min. Season to taste. Serve the curry over the rice and garnish with chopped coriander.

Tip! If cooking for kids, remove the paneer pieces without the sauce. Serve the paneer, rice and the curry sauce separately.
