Method

Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large, deep frying pan over a high heat. Add the paneer and fry for 4-5 mins, flipping regularly, until lightly golden. Transfer to a plate lined with kitchen paper.
Add the remaining oil to the frying pan and fry the onion, garlic and ginger for 1 min or until fragrant. Stir in the spices; cook for 1 min. Add the tomatoes and chickpeas, reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10-15 mins until the sauce has reduced and thickened, stirring occasionally.
Add the peas, bring to the boil, then stir in the cream and paneer and warm through. Sprinkle with the coriander and serve with rice and chutney, if you like.
