Method

  1. Heat half the oil in a frying pan over a medium heat. Season the paneer with a pinch of salt and fry for 5-6 minutes, or until golden on all sides, then tip onto a plate. Add the remaining oil to the pan along with the mustard seeds, cumin seeds and curry leaves. When the seeds start to pop and sizzle, add the shallot and a pinch of salt and cook gently for 3-4 minutes, stirring regularly.
  2. Stir in the coconut, garlic, turmeric and chillies, cook for 1 minute then add the sprouts. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes over a medium-high heat until golden in places. Return the paneer to the pan and cook for a final minute or two. Serve with rice and/or chapatis.

  1. If you have leftover raw sprouts instead of cooked, simply shred them instead of halving and cook in the same way – they’re great with a bit of bite
