Method

  1. Preheat the oven to gas 6, 200°C, fan 180°C. Put the onion in a bowl with the lemon juice and the sugar. Add a pinch of salt, then stir to coat the onion.
  2. Put the paneer, peppers, tomatoes, 2 of the garlic cloves, the ginger, cumin, curry powder, vegetable oil and mango chutney in a mixing bowl. Add seasoning to taste and stir to coat. Transfer to a large roasting tin and spread out into an even layer. Bake in the oven for 30 mins, turning the paneer and veg halfway, until the paneer is golden and the vegetables are tender.
  3. Stir the Greek yogurt, remaining garlic, cucumber and herbs together in a bowl and add 2 tsp of the lemon juice from the red onions. Season to taste and sprinkle over the garam masala.
  4. Place the flatbreads on a baking tray and warm for 5 mins in the residual heat of the oven. Divide the traybake between plates and top with the pickled onions and a few extra mint leaves. Serve with the flatbreads and raita.

Tip: Any remaining pickled onions can be kept in the fridge for up to 3 days.
