Introduction
This is a special celebration dish, with beautifully spiced, fluffy paneer kofta in a cream-enriched tomato sauce. I request it every birthday and while it requires a little bit of kitchen pottering to make the paneer, the quick tomato sauce can be made and frozen ahead, the paneer made and refrigerated ahead of time, with the two warmed separately and put together just before serving.
Ingredients
For the sauce: | |
oil | |
onion, roughly chopped | |
ginger, grated | |
freshly ground coriander seeds | |
ground cumin | |
mild chilli powder | |
sea salt flakes | |
desiccated coconut | |
chopped tomatoes | |
single cream | |
For the kofta: | |
homemade paneer | |
fresh coriander leaves, plus extra to serve | |
red or green chilli, stem removed | |
plain flour | |
bicarbonate of soda | |
sea salt flakes | |
vegetable oil, for deep-frying |
