Ingredients

  • 1tsp cumin seeds
  • 1tsp mustard seeds 4 tbsp
  • LighterLife Savoury Broth
  • 1 onion, sliced
  • 1 large aubergine, cut into bite-sized chunks
  • 1 clove garlic, crushed (or 1 tsp minced garlic)
  • 2 large tomatoes, chopped
  • 200g (7oz) paneer, cut into bite-sized chunks
  • 1 tsp curry powder small bunch basil

Method

  • Heat a large, non-stick frying pan until piping hot. Add the cumin and mustard seeds and stir continuously until they start to pop (it can help to hold the pan over the heat rather than have it directly on the hob).
  • Turn down the heat, add the broth, onion and aubergine, and cook for 4-5 minutes until the vegetables are tender and start to colour. Add the garlic and tomatoes and cook for a further 2 minutes.
  • Add the paneer and curry powder, stir and cook gently for 5 mins so the paneer is heated through. Check the seasoning, then serve the curry, scattered with basil leaves.
