Paneer masala simple recipe, warming tasty saucy paneer cheese dish

Prasanth in work has described to me how to make paneer. And recommended paneer masala as a nice dish to try. Fionn bought some paneer cheese, sooo....

Looking up recipes some look fierce complicated with alot of ingredients. Hummm. We have leeks, onions, carrots, beetroot, . . .

This worked:

Paneer masala and rice

Method:

Chop paneer in rough chunks. Liberally add garam masala. Roughly chop garlic. Grate ginger. Add some sweet chilli sauce and oil(rape seed). Add mixed herbs. Leave to marinade.

Put on rice cooker. Rice. Turmeric. Chopped onion. Water.

Coriander seeds into pot with oil. Turn on low heat.

Clean and chop leeks. Add to pot green parts first. Add more garam masala with the leek. Chop carrots small round slices. Add to pot. Add herbs and pepper and some salt or a bit of stock or bouillon. Add 500ml of tomato, passata or tinned tomato or chopped real tomato. Stir. Rinse out tomato containers with water and add to pot. You want it liquid enough so it will simmer happily and not stick to bottom of pot too much and reduce to nice sauce. Leave to simmer stirring occasionally.

After a good simmer taste. Adjust seasoning. Add paneer. Leave to simmer for another short while.

Serve rice in bowl, paneer masala on top.
