Method
- Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large, deep frying pan over a high heat. Add the paneer and fry for 4-5 mins, flipping regularly, until lightly golden. Transfer to a plate lined with kitchen paper.
- Add the remaining oil to the frying pan and fry the onion, garlic and ginger for 1 min or until fragrant. Stir in the spices; cook for 1 min. Add the tomatoes and chickpeas, reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10-15 mins until the sauce has reduced and thickened, stirring occasionally.
- Add the peas, bring to the boil, then stir in the cream and paneer and warm through. Sprinkle with the coriander and serve with rice and chutney, if you like.
