Paneer Surprise!


This is basically curry.  I love curry and I am quite proud of this one because this is the first time I used paneer (paneer is a cheese, not a bike bag).

We start by browning the cheese, like halloumi.  Here's a picture of this:


Once all the paneer is nice and browned, leave the cheese to one side and cook up some onions.
Add some chillis.  I added 2 quite large chillis - this was quite hot, so it might have been a bit much.
Chuck the cheese back in to the frying pan and add some beans and any veggies you want to use.
Once it seems cooked, add in most of a tin of tomatoes and most of a tin of coconut milk.
Then add some coriander.  Although when I went to Tesco and bought coriander I got this:


Is this coriander??  I am unconvinced.

So... add a random green herb that may or may not be coriander.  Leave it to simmer and it might look a bit like this now:


Taste it, if it is too hot for you then add some more coconut milk (actually I added some lemon juice and that seemed to work too!)

I then left it simmering away for about 15 / 20 minutes and that seemed to do the trick.  When it was done it looked (and tasted) pretty good.

Here it is:


It would be nice served with rice, but I couldn't be arsed to make rice, so this is with yesterdays left over potatoes (yay for the left overs!)
