    • South Indian Vegetable Curry with Paneer

      Posted at 3:09 pm by doodiefoodie
      Feb 2nd

      This curry is lightly spiced and lovely and fragrant, the addition of Paneer gives the curry more body and is easily available in most supermarkets and perfect for those meat free days. Serve it with warm Naan bread to soak up the delicious sauce.

      This was cooked in the Multicooka which is available from Lakeland, it is a multifunctional one pot cooker, it has 12 simple to use programmes and even has an auto-stir function for hands free cooking which is great for Risotto.

      Serves 4-5

      Ingredients

      2 tbsp. vegetable oil
      1 large onion sliced
      2 tsp peeled and grated ginger
      2 garlic cloves, crushed
      2 tsp black mustard seeds
      12-15 curry leaves (fresh if possible)
      1 tsp ground cumin
      2 tsp garam masala
      1 tsp. turmeric
      ¼ tsp cracked black pepper
      2 finger green chilli, finely chopped
      400ml coconut milk
      150ml vegetable stock
      2 carrots, peeled cut into batons
      350g cauliflower, broken into florets
      2 courgettes, chopped into chunky pieces

      227g block Paneer cheese, cubed into bite size pieces

    • Spiced Carrot and Lentil Soup

      As the days are turning colder, and the leaves are falling there is one thing I think of….. It’s soup time!!

      I do love a good soup, they are often dead easy to make, filling and lovely and warming. They beat the humble sandwich for lunch any day of the week. This one in particular is one of the easiest you can make;  you can rustle it up in no time and only takes a few simple ingredients that most of us will have. It’s a good way to use up those red lentils in the back of the cupboard that you never know what to do with.  I think this recipe originally came from Good Food, but it’s a regular I go back to time and time again. It’s low in fat and high fibre.

      Ingredients

      2 tsp. cumin seeds

      1 tsp. crushed chilli flakes

      650g carrots, scrubbed and grated

      140g red lentils

      1 litre vegetable stock ( I use the knorr stock pots)

      150ml milk

      chopped fresh coriander,yogurt and naan bread to serve
