Rougaille Paneer
This dish is really easy to make, and it is my own recipe. It takes 10 minutes to prepare and 45 minutes to cook. The ingredients I used are:
500g paneer, cut in cubes
4 large tomatoes, roughly chopped
3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 medium onion, finely diced
1 tsp fresh ginger, finely chopped
3 tbsp tomato purée
100g green peas
3 tbsp vegetable oil
2 tsp cumin seeds
2 green chillies, halved
Salt
Method:
Add the oil to a saucepan on medium heat, and toss the garlic, onion and ginger in. Let it fry for 1 minute.
Add the tomatoes in, put the lid on and let it cook for 20-25 minutes until the tomatoes have fully disintegrated. Stir occasionally and add a splash of water to prevent the tomatoes from drying out.
Add the tomato purée, green chillies and cumin seeds. Mix thoroughly and season with salt to taste. Let it cook for 2 minutes.
Transfer the sauce to a blender and blitz until a smooth paste is obtained.
Pour the sauce back in the saucepan and add 1-2 tbsp water.
Toss the green peas and paneer in. Put the lid back on, and let it simmer on low heat for 10 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and garnish with ginger, coriander and red chilli flakes. Serve with naan bread or rice. Enjoy!
