Method
- In a large pan, fry the onion in a little groundnut oil for 10 minutes until softened. Add the mustard seeds, coriander seeds, cumin seeds, ground turmeric, chilli powder and cinnamon. Fry for a few minutes until the mustard seeds start to pop.
- Add the potatoes. Pour over the stock, desiccated coconut and curry leaves. Simmer for 30 minutes until the potatoes are tender (add more water if necessary). Stir in the beetroot.
- Meanwhile, cut the paneer into large cubes and fry for 5 minutes in a little oil, turning, until golden. Tuck these into the curry for the last 5 minutes of cooking. Serve with steamed rice, chopped coriander and lime wedges to squeeze over.
