Method

  1. 1

    Heat half the vegetable oil in a karahi or wide pan and fry the paneer cubes for 3-4 minutes, turning, until golden on the edges, then lift out.

  3. 3

    Add the tomatoes, ground turmeric and chilli powder and cook over high heat for 6-8 minutes, mashing lightly, until thick and glossy.

  4. 4

    Stir in the mixed peppers and cook for 4 minutes until just softened but still with some bite.

  5. 5

    Return the paneer to the pan with the fresh green chillies and toss gently for 2 minutes to heat through.

    Scatter with the fresh coriander and serve with naan or rice.
