A delightful recipe made from Paneer – a fresh, unsalted cheese common in South Asia, and coconut milk, giving a vibrant flavour to this tasty dish.

This simple but flavoursome recipe is bursting with flavour thanks the the addition of almonds, complementing the coconut milk perfectly.  Use a pot of my Curry Masala for a meal that will delight your dinner guests.

  4. Add the ground almonds with the salt and make sure the almonds do not form lumps.

  5. Then add the paneer and stir gently and lower the heat a bit so the paneer does not burn.

  6. After a few minutes add the coconut milk and a touch of sugar and salt to suit your taste.

  7. Serve with plain rice or chappatties.
