Method

  1. 1

    Cut the paneer into cubes. Heat the ghee in a pan and fry the green cardamom pods for 30 seconds, then add the chopped onion and cook over medium heat for 8 minutes until soft but pale.

  2. 2

    Add the garlic and ginger and cook for 1 minute, then blitz the mixture to a smooth paste with a splash of water.

  3. 3

    Return the paste to the pan, stir in the double cream and most of the black pepper, and simmer gently for 6 minutes.

  4. 4

    Add the paneer cubes and simmer for a further 4 minutes until warmed through without breaking up.

  5. 5

    Scatter with the remaining black pepper and the chopped coriander, and serve with rice or warm bread.
