“Paneer please Mummy?!” is very much a question I hear alot! So I gave in to my little one but had to add some goodness in also. Broadbeans seemed perfect. They add an earthiness to this curry along with the tang from the tomato and sweetness from the red onion. You can make it as spicy or mild as you like by adding or removing spices and chilli.
A very bright and colourful curry that will end your day on a really happy note. Once again a quick and simple recipe to be enjoyed in no time at all. Hope you all are having a splendid day! See you soon! Much love D x
INGREDIENTS
225g paneer sliced into thin chunks
1 cup frozen broad beans
1 red onion sliced
1 large tomato chopped
2 garlic cloves minced
1 chilli finely chopped
1 tbsp olive oil
⅓ tsp mustard seeds
⅓ tsp cumin seeds
Pinch of asafoetida
¼ tsp sugar
100g crushed tomato passata
⅓ tsp turmeric powder
2 tsp coriander & cumin powder
2 tsp shahi paneer powder/garam masala
1 tsp salt or to taste
Boiling water
Lemon to taste
METHOD
• In a large saucepan, heat the oil with the mustard, cumin seeds and asafoetida
Once the seeds start to pop and sizzle, add in the onion, garlic, tomato and chilli. Reduce to a low heat and sauté for a few minutes, stirring occasionally
• Pour in the passata, throw in all seasoning and spices. Mix well, cover and cook for 5 minutes
• Add the paneer and broadbeans, combine well. Pour in a little boiling water to give a more saucy base
• Cook and cover on low for 15 minutes. Finally squeeze in some lemon juice. Serve with soft naan and fluffy rice

Nice combination, Dimple! I love broad beans and this will make a wonderful change from the usual matar-paneer.

Fantastic looking curry.
Thank you! 🙂
You have some of the prettiest dishes! Yum.
Thank you so much Jillian! 🙂
This looks so good D…. Have never used broad beans with paneer,,,so creative..might have oven extra bite to the whole dish :).
Loved your second picture 🙂
Thank you honey! It really does give it that extra bite instead of the whole curry being squishy 🙂
Brilliant authentic recipe, Dimple! Looks super delicious as ever! I love paneer curries- so good.
Aww Thank you! I hope you enjoy it!
I love all the spices in this. It must be so flavorful. Thanks for sharing it!
My pleasure Shari, I hope you enjoy it and your keeping well x
I’m such a neophyte when it comes to curries, Dimple, and coming here is such an education. Thanks!
You are too kind my friend! Thank you!
You’re such a good mama, Dimple! 🙂
Thank you sweet Patty xx
Like your little one, I too love paneer. This looks delicious. Broadbeans and paneer – unique combination.
Thanks Joyti! Paneer is amazing! isn’t it? Hope you enjoy the recipe
This sounds delicious, I will definitely try this. We make muttar paneer quite a lot but I’ve never thought to use broad beans. Kids are suspicious of paneer unfortunately and won’t try it (all the more for the grown ups!).
Thank you! I’m sure you will love it x
Have never tried the combination of paneer and beans! Tempted to try it now! 🙂
Looks delicious!
Delicious! I love any and all Indian food!
Fantastic! Great to be in touch! 🙂
