0 of 6 done
  1. Cut the paneer into 2cm cubes. Finely chop the onion, garlic, and ginger.
  2. Heat the Olive Oil in a small saucepan over a medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring often, until it is soft and translucent.
  3. Add the garlic, ginger, cumin, coriander, and turmeric to the pan. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, until the spices are fragrant.
  4. Pour in the chopped tomatoes and bring to a simmer. Let it cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened slightly and the raw tomato taste has cooked out.
  5. Stir in the double cream and the frozen peas. Season with salt and pepper. Let the curry simmer gently for 3-4 minutes, until the peas are cooked through and the sauce has thickened to a creamy consistency.
  6. Gently fold in the cubed paneer and let it warm through in the sauce for 2 minutes. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. Serve hot, sprinkled with fresh coriander, alongside rice or naan.
