INSTRUCTIONS
SAUCE
Paneer is a fresh cheese with plenty of texture and protein. In this
traditional northern Indian dish, Paneer is combined with gree peas in a
spicy tomato-ginger sauce. Fresh Paneer is quite crumbly, so it is
generally cut into cubes and sauteed until golden before combining with
other ingredients. For variety, try adding some finely minced fresh
cilantro and a little freshly ground black pepper to the mixture before
cubing and frying. If you do have any left over, serve it warm in whole
wheat pita bread topped with sliced tomaotes and crunchy red onions.
PANEER:
FOR PANEER: Bring milk to a boil. As soon as it begins to bubble, stir in
lemon juice; remove from heat. Allow to rest 15 minutes; the curds will
separate from the whey. Strain curds through a triple layer of cheesecloth;
squeeze out as much whey as you easily can. Discard whey. Knead flour into
curds, place on a plate; pat to 3/4 inch thickness. Refrigerate while
preparing sauce. For sauce, place all ingredients except peas in a blender
or food processor; blend to a smooth paste. Pour into a large skillet,
bring to a boil; simmer, uncovered, about 20 minutes. Meanwhile, remove
Paneer from refrigerator, cut into 1 inch cubes. Heat the 2 tbsp oil in a
on-stick skillet, saute cubes until golden on both sides. Add paneer cubes
and peas to sauce. Simmer for ten minutes or until peas are cookes. Serve
with steamed rice. Makes 4-5 servings.

A Message from our Provider:
“Our hopelessness and our helplessness are no barrier to (God’s) work. Indeed our utter incapacity is often the prop He delights to use for His next act… We are facing one of the principles of Yahweh’s modus operandi. When His people are without strength, without resources, without hope, without human gimmicks – then He loves to stretch forth His hand from heaven. Once we see where God often begins we will understand how we may be encouraged. #Ralph Davis”
