Matar Paneer
Matar Paneer brings together fried cubes of paneer and green peas in a warmly spiced tomato sauce. You'll start by browning the paneer, then build a fragrant base with ginger and a handful of ground spices. Tomatoes cook down into a rich sauce before the peas and paneer are stirred in. Finish with garam masala and fresh coriander, then serve it alongside warm naan. It comes together quickly, making it a good option for a weeknight.

Fry the Paneer
Heat the sunflower oil in a frying pan over high heat until it's shimmering. Add the paneer cubes, then lower the heat slightly. Fry them until they start to brown at the edges, then flip and brown on each side.
Paneer cooks quickly, so keep an eye on it. Once browned, remove the paneer from the pan and drain on kitchen paper.
