More Curry

I love curry and Shelley's recipe for chicken curry really gave me a craving for it.  On my recent trip to the Indian grocery store, I bought paneer.  Paneer is a cheese similar to cottage cheese, but solid and sold in a block or cubes.  It's similar in consistency to tofu.

Paneer and Lentil Curry
1 cup Dried Lentils
12 to 14 oz Paneer
1 tbsp Canola Oil
1 1/2 cups Chopped Onion
1 1/2 cups Diced Green and or Red Peppers
3 to 4 tbsp Curry Powder
2 cups Water
1 tbsp All Purpose Flour
  • Prepare the lentils per instruction on the package, then drain when completed.
  • Cut paneer into cubes.
  • Heat the canola oil in a large frying pan or wok.
  • Add the onion and peppers and cook until the onions are translucent or starting to brown.
  • Sprinkle the curry powder over the mixture and stir it in.
  • Add the lentils, paneer, and 2 cups of water.  Let this simmer until the liquid is reduced by half.
  • Carefully sprinkle the flour over the mixture, stirring well so that the flour doesn't get lumpy.
  • Allow this to thicken, then serve and enjoy.
