Paneer with stir-fried vegetables

Method

1. Gently fry the paneer in a hot pan with the turmeric and cumin seeds, for 2-3 minutes until the paneer is golden-brown on both sides. Remove from the heat and set aside.

2. Heat the olive oil in a saucepan and add the onion, peppers, chilli and coriander seeds and lightly fry until the mixture has browned.

3. Stir in the passata, then reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring constantly, until the onions and peppers are tender.

4. Remove the mixture from the heat, and stir in the paneer. Pour into a serving bowl and serve.
