CABBAGE WITH PANEER AND TOMATO (BUND GOBHI PANEER)
Adapted from: 660 Curries by Raghavan Iyer. Great book! I really enjoyed this made mild but would increase the spices. If you like it hot but don't have fresh peppers, use crushed red pepper flakes.

PANEER CON TOMATE
Pan con tomate, the Spanish dish of grated tomato on grilled or toasted bread, is summery and extremely satisfying. Grating a tomato somehow emphasizes everything delicious about it, heightening sweetness and acidity. Paneer con tomate is built on the same principle, but swaps the bread for pieces of crisp-edged, lightly fried cheese. Here, the tomato pulp is seasoned not with olive oil, but with a glug of coconut oil infused with mustard seeds and curry leaves. If you've got homemade paneer, which is looser and softer, then there's no need to fry it.

Steps:
- Using the large holes of a box grater, grate the tomatoes directly over a serving plate, pressing down with your palm so that all of the pulp goes through, and you're left with just the thin outer skin. Get rid of the skin and season the pulp generously with the salt and pepper.
- Cut the paneer into strips about 1-inch thick, then rotate the block and cut the strips to make bite-size squares.
- Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large nonstick pan over medium and add the paneer, letting it brown lightly, about 1 minute. Flip the pieces to get the other side a little brown, about 1 minute, then pile the paneer onto the tomato pulp.
- In the same pan, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons oil, then add the mustard seeds and cumin seeds. When the mustard seeds start to pop, crumple the curry leaves and add them to the pan, shaking it gently to sauté the leaves. Tip it all directly over the paneer and serve warm, or at room temperature.
Tips:
- For a more flavorful dish, use a mix of green and red bell peppers.
- If you don't have a wok, you can use a large skillet or Dutch oven.
- Be sure to cook the cabbage until it is tender but still has a slight crunch.
- If you like your dishes spicy, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or chopped chili peppers.
- Serve cabbage with paneer and tomato as a main course or side dish.
Conclusion:
Cabbage with paneer and tomato is a delicious and healthy dish that is easy to make. It is a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables, and it is also a good source of protein and fiber. This dish is perfect for a quick and easy weeknight meal, and it is also a great option for potlucks and parties.
