Method

  1. 1

    Melt the ghee in a pan and fry the onions for 10 minutes, stirring often, until deep golden, then lift out a third for a garnish.

  2. 2

    Add the green cardamom pods, garlic cloves and fresh ginger to the pan and fry for 1 minute, then stir in the ground coriander.

  3. 3

    Whisk the natural yoghurt until smooth and stir it in a spoonful at a time with 100ml water, then simmer for 8 minutes until thickened.

  4. 4

    Gently add the paneer and the double cream and simmer for 4 minutes to warm through without breaking up the paneer.

  5. 5

    Scatter with the reserved fried onions and serve with rice or naan.
