Cooking Time: 20 minutes
Serves: 4

Ingredients
200g paneer
2 red onions diced
2 cloves garlic crushed or finely chopped
1tbsp oil
1 x 400g can lentils
1tsp stock powder
1tbsp paprika
1tsp chilli flakes
1tsp garam masala
2tbsp curry powder
2tbsp pure maple syrup
135mls coconut cream
1 x 410g can crushed tomatoes

Method

Place oil in large frying pan over medium heat.

Add red onions and garlic cloves and cook until onion is soft, stirring regularly.

Add stock powder, paprika, chilli flakes, garam masala and curry powder to pan and stir until fragrant.

Add crushed tomatoes, lentils (drained) and coconut cream and stir well to combine.

Add maple syrup (this might seem strange but it takes the tartness out of the tomatoes and adds a slight sweetness to the curry).

Cut paneer into cubes and add to pan. Fold in to the rest of the ingredients and simmer for 10 minutes to allow the sauce to thicken slightly.

Serve with papadums and or naan bread and white rice.

Great the next day.
