MUTTER PANEER -- INDIAN CHEESE CURRY

Steps:

• Put a little bit of oil in a deep, heavy bottomed frying pan and brown the cheese, turning frequently so no sides burn. When it is browned, set aside on a plate.
• Add more oil, if needed, to the pan and throw in the onions.
• Let them fry until golden, then add the garlic and spices.
• Fry some more for a couple minutes, then add the tin of tomatoes and about 1/2 cup of water.
• Let simmer for about five minutes, then put in the fried cheese and peas and simmer covered over a low heat for about 20 minutes.
• Check the consistency and simmer some more if needed to bring it down to a thickness you like.
