Method:

1. Heat the ghee or oil in a frying pan and fry the paneer cubes until they are golden brown on all sides. Remove and drain on kitchen paper.

3. Remove and mix in the turmeric, chilli powder if using, garam masala and salt.

6. Garnish with a sprig of mint and serve hot.

Tip: While boiling potatoes and cauliflower add a few drops of vinegar to the water to keep their original white.
