Steps:
- Toss scallions, ginger, and garlic in a medium bowl to combine. Using a mortar and pestle or the side of a chef's knife, coarsely crush coriander seeds and add to vegetables along with cumin seeds, black mustard seeds, chile powder and turmeric; set aside.
- Heat 2 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Arrange paneer in a single layer in pan and cook until golden brown underneath, about 1 minute. (If paneer is sticking, just give cheese a little more time to brown. It will release from pan once it is sufficiently crisped.) Using a slotted spatula or spoon, transfer paneer to a plate, leaving as much oil behind in pan as possible. Turn browned side up and season generously with salt.
- Reduce heat to medium and add remaining 1 Tbsp. oil to same skillet. Cook reserved scallion mixture, stirring often, until scallions are wilted and mustard seeds begin to pop, about 2 minutes.
- Add tomatoes, sugar snap peas, and 1 cup water to skillet and season with salt. Increase heat to medium-high and bring to a simmer. Gently smash each tomato open with a spatula (you just want to break them open a little) and simmer until tomato juices thicken slightly, about 3 minutes (it should still be pretty brothy and light). Taste sauce and add more salt if needed. If your tomatoes aren't super sweet, you may need to add a pinch of sugar at this point to balance their acidity. Add paneer back to pan and simmer until warmed through.
- Remove pan from heat and toss in mint. Serve with cooked rice.

Steps:
- To make the herb paste, wash your herbs really well, including the coriander stalks. Squeeze lightly to get rid of excess water. Tip into a food processor or blender along with the garlic, ginger, chilli (if using), lemon juice, oil, garam masala and 1 tsp salt. Whizz until quite fine and smooth. Stir in the double cream, yogurt and ajwain seeds, if using. Taste and adjust any spices or seasoning to taste.
- Cut each block of paneer into 4 pieces. Pierce the paneer all over with a skewer to allow some of the paste to sink inside. Coat the paneer in the herby paste, then cover and leave to marinate in the fridge for at least 1 hr, or as long as possible.
- When ready to cook, heat a griddle pan or grill. Prepare 2 sheets of foil and place 4 pieces of the paneer on each. Sprinkle over the onion and top with a generous knob of butter. Bring the foil together to make a parcel that encompasses the cheese completely. Place straight on your hot grill or griddle pan for 8-10 mins or until the paneer is hot through and steamy. Ideally there will be a little charring coming through at the bottom - you will need to open the parcel and peek to check this. Sprinkle over the chaat masala and serve hot, still wrapped in the foil or on a plate.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Tip the rice and rapeseed oil into a medium casserole dish (around 25 x 20cm), season and mix to coat the rice in the oil. Add the stock, most of the parsley, most of the lemon zest and all the juice, stir together and season.
- Dot the paneer cubes all over the top of the rice and bake for 20 mins until the rice is very nearly cooked and the paneer is beginning to turn golden on top. Mix through the mangetout and peas, then put back in the oven for 5-7 mins until the veg is cooked but still bright in colour. Sprinkle over the reserved parsley and lemon zest.

MATTAR PANEER (PEAS AND PANEER IN SPICED TOMATO GRAVY)
Traditionally, roasted and crushed cashews are puréed with cooked onions and tomatoes to make the base for this comforting vegetarian dish. This version skips the hassle of puréeing and instead uses a hefty amount of cashew butter for the same nutty flavor and creamy texture. Red chile powder, ginger and garlic provide the perfect backbone for the sauce. Substitute tofu for paneer if you like; the mildness of either lends itself well to this unexpectedly luxurious dish that is so much more than the sum of its parts.

Steps:
- Heat ghee in a large frying pan or medium wok on high for 30 seconds, or until it is melted. Lower heat to medium and lightly fry paneer or tofu cubes, turning frequently, until they are golden on all sides, about 5 minutes. Remove and set aside on a plate lined with a paper towel.
- In the same frying pan or wok add onion, ginger and garlic, and cook on medium, stirring occasionally, for 5 to 7 minutes or until onions are translucent.
- Add chile powder, cumin seeds and turmeric, and stir until fragrant, about 30 seconds to a minute. Stir in tomatoes and salt. Add 3/4 cup water. Simmer on medium until the mixture thickens slightly, about 3 to 5 minutes.
- Lower the heat to medium-low, and stir in cashew butter. Add peas and paneer. Stir to combine. Simmer for 5 minutes or until it reaches your desired thickness. Top with heavy cream in a swirl, if you like. Sprinkle with garam masala. Serve with rice or roti.

Steps:
- Heat oil in a large Dutch oven or other heavy pot over medium. Cook paneer in a single layer, undisturbed, until golden brown underneath, about 2 minutes. Turn over and cook on other side until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a medium bowl; let cool slightly, then crumble into bite-size pieces. Set aside.
- Add onion, garlic, jalapeño, ginger, cumin seeds, and mustard seeds to same pot and cook (still over medium), stirring often, until onion is softened and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add coriander, cayenne, and turmeric and cook, stirring occasionally, until fragrant, about 3 minutes. Stir in tomatoes, salt, and 1 cup water. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low and stir in reserved paneer. Cover pot and cook, stirring occasionally, until sauce is slightly thickened, 15-20 minutes.
- Spread a slice of bread with ½ cup sauce. Top with some of the red onion, cheddar, and cilantro (about a sixth of each); close up sandwich with another slice of bread. Repeat with remaining ingredients to make 5 more sandwiches.
- Melt 1 Tbsp. butter in a small nonstick skillet over medium. Cook 2 sandwiches, pressing down occasionally on them with a spatula to ensure good contact with the pan, until underside is golden brown and crisp, about 3 minutes. Turn sandwiches over and cook until other side is golden brown and cheese is melted, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a plate. Repeat process two more times with remaining butter and sandwiches.
- Slice sandwiches in half and serve with ketchup.
PANEER CON TOMATE
Pan con tomate, the Spanish dish of grated tomato on grilled or toasted bread, is summery and extremely satisfying. Grating a tomato somehow emphasizes everything delicious about it, heightening sweetness and acidity. Paneer con tomate is built on the same principle, but swaps the bread for pieces of crisp-edged, lightly fried cheese. Here, the tomato pulp is seasoned not with olive oil, but with a glug of coconut oil infused with mustard seeds and curry leaves. If you've got homemade paneer, which is looser and softer, then there's no need to fry it.

Steps:
- Using the large holes of a box grater, grate the tomatoes directly over a serving plate, pressing down with your palm so that all of the pulp goes through, and you're left with just the thin outer skin. Get rid of the skin and season the pulp generously with the salt and pepper.
- Cut the paneer into strips about 1-inch thick, then rotate the block and cut the strips to make bite-size squares.
- Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large nonstick pan over medium and add the paneer, letting it brown lightly, about 1 minute. Flip the pieces to get the other side a little brown, about 1 minute, then pile the paneer onto the tomato pulp.
- In the same pan, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons oil, then add the mustard seeds and cumin seeds. When the mustard seeds start to pop, crumple the curry leaves and add them to the pan, shaking it gently to sauté the leaves. Tip it all directly over the paneer and serve warm, or at room temperature.
