Easy Mataar Paneer

[Abbeeroad]

Ooo...I will have to try Pataks concentrated curry paste - I agree that I just can't replicate the flavor of my fave dishes at home. Thanks!!

Hey!  I posted the other recipe. 

I have a question... which curry are you using?  (In my mind it would make the most sense to use their garam masala paste.)  I am just curious, so I have a better idea of what it tastes like when you make it. 

Also, when making curd, if it isn't curdling... sometimes you do have to pour in a lot more lemon juice.  If you have to do that don't worry because the lemon flavor will go away when you rinse your curds.  It's not a necessary step, but I like to rinse the curd before pressing it so that you can add your own flavoring, like salt or basil.  (Especially if I am making the curds for a sweet dish.  Cinnamon sugar curd is amazing!)

Also, for a dish like this kneading the curds before pressing it will make it a much firmer final product.  (That way the cubes won't fall apart easily.)

Oooh good points, I've never kneaded it before.  I don't remember which paste I used, I've probably used a couple, I just grab one that's labeled "hot."
