• Frozen peas – 1 cup
• Cottage cheese (paneer) – 8oz
• Heavy whipping cream – ? cup
• Onion – 1 large
• Red chili (cayenne pepper) flakes – 1 tbsp
• Curry leaves (kadi/kari patta) – 6-8
• Cumin seeds – 1 tsp
• Turmeric powder – ½ tsp
• Tomato paste – 2 tbsp
• Garlic paste – 1½ tbsp
• Cooking oil – ½ cup
• Salt to taste

Chop the onion finely.

Heat the oil in a wok. Drop in the kari patta (make sure they are dry!).

Add the onions and fry on medium heat till they turn a golden brown.

Now add the garlic and fry for a couple of minutes.

Add the turmeric, red chilli flakes, salt and cumin and stir.

After a minute or so, add the tomato paste and stir to combine all the spices and ingredients.

Now add the cream and continue stirring to mix it in.

Add 1/2 a cup of water and let the sauce come to a boil.
Now it’s time for the peas.

While the sauce reheats, cut the paneer into cubes.

Once the sauce is bubbling, add the paneer, give the dish a nice big stir so that the sauce coats the paneer and turn off the stove.

The dish is ready to serve.
