Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

Notes about this recipe

    This was oddly disappointing. The balance of spices just didn’t quite taste right and even with a lot of seasoning tweaks at the end (salt, sugar), the tomato taste just wasn’t very nice. Obviously using better quality tomatoes might help, or perhaps cooking them longer? I tried it twice and felt the same both times. Love this dish whenever I’ve eaten it out so need to find a better recipe. I should say that I usually love Maunika’s recipes (hence trying this twice for good measure). Made this for a thali alongside several other of her recipes and frankly this just paled in comparison.

    Great dish. Found there to be too many peas when using suggested amount. I’d probably half it next time

    This was good. I didn't precook the paneer and instead cooked it in the gravy.
