Method

step 1

Fry the paneer cubes in 1 tbsp of oil in a non-stick frying pan until golden. Scoop out and drain on kitchen paper, then add the chopped onion to the pan with another little splash of oil and fry for 8-10 minutes or until soft and golden. Add the ginger and garlic and cook for 2 minutes. Add the spices and cook for another 2 minutes. Add the coconut milk and simmer for 10 minutes. Cool, then stir in the paneer, beans, asparagus and peas and tip into a pie dish.
step 2

Heat the oven to 220C/fan 200C/gas 7. Cook the new potatoes in boiling salted water until tender. Drain well then tip them out onto a chopping board, crush with the back of a wooden spoon and tear each one in half. Put into a bowl and mix in the butter and spices. Arrange the potatoes on top of the paneer so the filling is completely enclosed. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden and crisp on top and the filling is piping hot.
