Paneer Curry

This recipe may take a little prep time, but it is one of my favorites. I'm a huge fan of currys (non spicy ones that is) and this one is easy to make at home, but tastes delish!

Ingredients:
1/4 - 1/2 lb. paneer*
Salt & pepper
2 Tbsp vegetable oil
2 Tbsp butter
2 medium onions, roughly chopped
4 large cloves of garlic, minced
2 Tbsp curry powder
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1 14-ounce can of diced tomatoes
1/2- 1 cup chicken stock
1/2 cup heavy cream
Juice of 1/2 lemon

Directions:
1. Slice the paneer into small cubes, then cover with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Place into a non-stick pan, cook for one minute (or until browning), then flip and cook the other side. Remove from the pan and set aside.
2. Prep the onions and garlic. Melt the butter in the pan and add the onion and garlic, cooking over medium heat for about 7 minutes.
3. Stir in the curry powder and cinnamon, cook for a few minutes.
4. Add tomatoes, chicken broth, and paneer. Cook until hot, about 5 minutes.
5. Stir in heavy cream, season with salt to taste, and squeeze in lemon juice. Simmer for another minute or so, then turn off stove and serve.

Unfortunately I didn't have any naan to plate my food with so I ate it with whole wheat bread. I would recommend trying it with naan, pita bread, or brown rice.

*I've been able to find paneer cheese at Whole Foods. I don't believe Fred Meyer, QFC, or Safeway carry it.
