Going out to an Indian restaurant can be expensive, even at the cheapest restaurants when you're on one income. I've created an indian dish at home that rivals Matar Paneer, but is made with tofu instead of the paneer (cheese). I did however use organic whipping cream. You could probably substitute that and use coconut milk instead.
Here is my recipe:
Before you get anything started, you will want to cook up about 2 cups of brown basmati rice. I have a rice cooker, so this takes a little over 1/2 hour.
1 onion diced
2 cloves garlic
about 1 T real ginger
1 package of tofu diced into small squares
Put the above ingredients into a food processor except the tofu. Add about 1/4 cup water until the mixture is 'slush-like'. Sautee the onion slush in a pan with about a T of grapeseed or olive oil along with the tofu. When one side of the tofu is browned....
1 1/2 T coriander
1 t turmeric
Add these ingredients into your slush. Let simmer for about 2 minutes until fragrant.
Add one can of crushed tomatoes into the mixture. Stir and let simmer for a few minutes.
1 1/2 T garam masala
Add the above ingredients to the tomato mixture.
Stir and let simmer for awhile.
1 bag of organic peas
about 1 cup of organic heavy whipping cream
Add the above ingredients to your pan.
Add the rice and enjoy. Below is a photo of the finished product, without the rice.
