Nguyên liệu
-
225 g packed paneer , cut into cubes
-
290 g jar korma curry paste
-
Juice of 1 lemon
-
2 cloves garlic , crushed
-
1 tbsp olive oil
-
2 onion , finely sliced
-
1 tsp black cumin seeds
-
3cm-piece fresh ginger root, finely chopped
-
250 ml coconut milk
-
500 g Charlotte potatoes , scrubbed and halved
-
120 g red lentils
-
100 g young leaf spinach
-
Steamed basmati rice, poppadoms, and lime wedges, to serve
-
In a bowl, mix the paneer cubes, 2 tbsp korma paste, lemon juice, and half the garlic. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
-
In a large pan, heat half the oil over medium-low heat. Add the onions and cook while stirring, until caramelized, about 30 minutes. Add 2 tbsp of water to the pan. Add the cumin seeds, remaining garlic, ginger, and the rest of the korma paste. Stir until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.
-
Pour in the coconut milk and 300ml of water. And the potatoes, and stir until combined. Reduce the heat, cover, and simmer for 55 minutes.
-
Add the lentils and continue to simmer, covered, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes and lentils are tender, about 20 minutes.
-
In a non-stick frying pan, heat the remaining oil. Add the marinated paneer and fry for 10-15 minutes. Turn occasionally to get it crisp and golden. Remove from heat, and set aside.
-
Remove the curry from heat. Stir in the paneer and spinach, until the spinach is wilted. If the curry is too thick, stir in a bit of boiling water, until you get the desired consistency. Serve with the steamed basmati rice.
