Just because I haven't done it in a loooooong while...

Paneer Curry

You can easily make the paneer cheese yourself, but if you're not so inclined, you'll find it at any Asian/Indian grocery as "paneer" and at any Mexican as "queso blanco". It's a kind of cheese that won't melt. You buy/make it as a ball-shaped cheese or buy it readily in cubes.

1 onion, finely chopped
1" ginger (or to taste), very finely chopped
3-4 chillies (or to taste), roughly chopped
1/2 small tin tomato paste
1/2 tin tomatoes (plum, chopped, whatever) or 2 medium-sized fresh
Salt, pepper, cumin, turmeric (haldi), pomegranate seed powder
Paneer cheese

Fry onion over medium heat. When it starts to brown, add ginger and chillies and fry for another 3-5 mins. Add tomato paste, stir well. Add spices, leave over medium heat for 5 mins, then add tomatoes and paneer. Fry approx. 10 mins over low heat. Serve with fresh lime juice and cilantro over rice or with pita or nan bread.

Bon Appétit
