Peas and Paneer

Main dish that is savory but not spicy

`Ingredients`	8 ounces Bharatma brand Paneer, in 3/4" cubes
	4 tablespoons ghee (clarified butter)
	1/2 teaspoon cayenne
	2 cups fresh green peas, hulled
	1 teaspoon coriander
	1 teaspoon cumin seed
	1 teaspoon salt
	oil for deep frying



`Instructions`	1. Heat the ghee and add salt, cumin seed and cayenne. Stir well, add peas. Continue to stir until peas are well coated with ghee. Lower heat and cook very gently, about 15 minutes. Stir gently from time to time. No water is needed.
	2. When peas are tender, add coriander. Mix well.
	3. If you have purchased Bharatama brand Fried, Cuber Paneer, than simply add the cold cubes to the peas and heat gently together for 10 minutes.
	4. If you have purchased Bharatama brand Paneer which has not been pre-cubed and fired, then turn off the heat on the peas and set aside. Heat oil to 375 degrees in a deep fryer. Cut Paneer into 3/4" cubes and drop the cheese cubes one at a time into the oil. In about one minute, or when golden brown, remove the cubes with a slotted spoon and drain on absorbent paper. Add the browned Paneer cheese to the peas and heat gently together for 5 to 10 minutes, then serve.
