Sticky Mango and Lime Paneer Naans
by Meera Sodha
Good things come in threes: buses, the little pigs and Destiny’s Child. I’m adding paneer, naan and mango chutney to that list. Don’t be put off by the list of ingredients: there’s very little cooking to be done here.
Method
Based on 4 servings, adjust as needed.
Step 1
First, make the curried mayo. Put the yoghurt, mayonnaise, curry powder and a tablespoon of mango chutney into a bowl, mix well and leave to one side. (if cooking for 4).
Step 2
Next, place the shredded cabbage in a bowl with a large pinch of salt, then scrunch with clean hands until wilted. (If you get red hands, scrub them with the inside of the juiced lime to remove the colour.)
Step 3
For the sticky mango and lime glaze, put the lime juice, 2 1/2 tablespoons of mango chutney, the garlic, gram flour, a teaspoon of salt and 3 tablespoons of water into a bowl and stir well. (if cooking for 4, adjust as required).
Step 4
Put the oil into a frying pan over a medium to high heat. When hot, fry the paneer, turning every minute or so to brown each side, for around 5 minutes. Turn the heat down, add the mango and lime glaze and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring, until the glaze goes sticky and coats the paneer cubes.
Step 5
Heat the naan or flatbreads (I zap them in the microwave), then slather over the curry mayonnaise, scatter over the cabbage, cover with the paneer and sprinkle with some mint leaves. Squeeze over some more lime, then roll up and eat.
