  5. Put the ginger, cumin, turmeric, ground coriander and chilli in the pan, and fry everything for 1 min.
  6. Add the tomatoes, mashing them with the back of a spoon and simmer everything for 5 mins until the sauce smells fragrant.
  7. Add a splash of water if it’s too thick.
  8. Season well.
  9. Add the peas and simmer for a further 2 mins, then stir in the paneer and sprinkle over the garam masala.
  10. Divide between two bowls, top with coriander leaves and serve with naan bread, roti or rice.
