Method
Make the butter paneer
Peel and dice the onion. Peel and crush the garlic. Dice the paneer.
Heat a dash of oil in a large frying pan, Add the paneer to the pan and cook over a medium heat for 5 - 7 minutes.
Add the onions and cook for 6-7 minutes, add the chopped tomatoes, garlic, garam masala and chilli powder and cook for another minute. Season with salt and pepper.
Simmer gently for a few minutes. If you like you can remove the paneer from the sauce and blend it until smooth, then add the paneer back in.
Stir in the cream and simmer for 2 minutes. Check the seasoning and adjust to taste.
Make the turmeric black pepper potatoes
While the butter paneer is cooking, let's look after the potatoes. Thinly slice the baby potatoes.
Place the sliced potatoes in a pan and add just enough water to cover them, season with salt and add the turmeric.
Boil for 6-7 minutes and then when the potatoes are nearly cooked (you can use a knife to check) add the butter and let it cook down and glaze the potatoes (keep a close eye on it so that it doesn't burn). Season with a generous amount of black pepper.
Cook the paratha
While the potatoes are cooking, heat a large frying pan over a medium and fry the parathas on both sides until golden.
Plate up
Plate up the butter paneer with the turmeric potatoes and a sprinkle of fresh coriander, serve with parathas on the side to mop up the sauce. Enjoy!
