Notes about this recipe

    Can substitute tofu for paneer, and non-dairy yoghurt for Greek yoghurt.

    Quite tasty! I did it with paneer and it had a very rich comfort food feel. I also made it a full day ahead and reheated it, which worked just fine. Doing it again for just us I'd probably do tofu and cashew butter instead of freshly made cashew cream.

    Came together quickly. I did add more liquid near the end but probably because I used a 14” pan. The two types of peas and tomatoes make this an interesting curry and the cashew cream was well worth the effort. Loved it!

    Delicious! The cooking time was a bit longer than I expected but the process was very easy. Served with yoghurt sauce, kachumber salad, rice, tandoori chicken and papadum.

    Another fabulous straightforward recipe from this lovely book. My photo has more sauce than the book illustration but this is because my paneer pack was only 300g rather than the specified 500g. But 300g would still have fed 4 people. I loved the mangetout coupled with frozen peas and I think the charred tomatoes added another dimension. I’ll be making this on repeat. Bright and fresh, delicious.

    This is lovely and quite light; it stays very saucy rather than thick so if you prefer it more sauce like I'd cut out a lot of the extra water she suggests using. It also takes a bit longer than you'd think but isn't complicated; you also don't NEED the charred tomatoes.
