Method

  1. Cook tomatoes, garlic, cashews and a knob of butter with a lid 10 minutes. Cool slightly and blend smooth.
  2. In the pan melt remaining butter with oil. Fry ginger and chilli powder 1 minute, then the tomato-cashew paste 5 minutes.
  3. Add paneer, sugar and a splash of water. Cook 3 minutes.
  4. Stir in garam masala, crushed fenugreek leaves if using, and cream. Taste for salt and serve.

Shopping tip

Paneer is the PT hard line — halloumi or tofu if missing. Caju, manteiga, natas and tomate are easy. Kasuri methi (folhas de feno-grego) is optional.
