A delightful vegetarian curry that is filling, high in protein & fibre.
Ingredients - Serves 4
400 grams of paneer
Quinoa or brown rice (to serve)
For marinade
4-6 garlic cloves, finely diced
Approximately 200 grams of plain Greek yoghurt (enough to lightly coat paneer)
2 tbsp. paprika
For curry
1 Can of crushed tomatoes
1 Can of coconut milk
1 -2 tsp. curry powder
1 tbsp. turmeric powder
1 tbsp. garam masala
1 tbsp. paprika
1 tbsp. coconut oil
Thumb sized piece of ginger, grated
3 garlic cloves, finely diced
1 capsicum, deseeded and diced
1/4 cauliflower, cut into florets
1 chilli (add more if you want it hot)
1 medium sized red onion, finely sliced
Handful of cashews, roughly chopped
Handful of parsley/coriander, finely diced
Instructions
*Allow extra time for marinading
Preheat oven to 180º on grill, and prepare a large baking tray.
Prepare marinade by combining garlic, yoghurt and paprika.
In a large bowl, coat paneer with the marinade. Cover and place in fridge for at least 1 hour. Overnight would be optimal.
In a large saucepan heat coconut oil on a medium heat, add cumin seeds. Once aromas are released add onions, garlic and ginger and sauté until soft.
Add chilli, spices, capsicum and cauliflower. Then cover for a few minutes, stir occasionally.
Stir in crushed tomatoes, cashews and parsley. Then allow to simmer on low for 5 minutes.
Place marinated paneer on a baking tray and grill for 15- 20 minutes.
Add coconut milk to saucepan, cover and simmer until paneer is ready.
Serve paneer curry with rice or quinoa and fresh parsley.
