Farmer's salad with grilled cheese

I took advantage of the picture-book weather at the weekend and made this summery farmer's salad. With cucumber, olives, tomatoes and a really delicious dressing. Fresh and crunchy. :) Actually, I had already given up on grilled cheese because many varieties taste rather like rubber and squeak, but the organic Cyros grilled cheese is completely different. 100% recommendation. My farmer's salad with grilled cheese is on the table after just 25-30 minutes. That's how it should be with summer salads, right? Quick and delicious.

How it’s done

the ginger and garlic, then finely grate or grind them into a paste using a mortar and pestle. Heat the oil and 30 g butter in a large pan. Add the cardamom and bay leaves and sauté on a medium heat for 1 minute.

Add the onions and leave everything to cook for 3 minutes. Stir a couple of times to make sure everything cooks evenly and don’t let the onions turn brown.

Add the ginger and garlic, as well as the garam masala and Kashmiri chilli powder. Leave everything to cook for 3 minutes and keep stirring. Next, add the cashews, allow them brown for a moment, then add the two tins of tomatoes. Season with a generous pinch of salt and leave to cook on a medium heat with the lid on for 15 minutes.

To finish, add the cream and purée everything either directly in the pan or by transferring it into a large bowl. Push the mixture through a fine sieve with a spoon, using circular movements.

Season the sauce with 1 tsp of crushed fenugreek leaves and a dash of lemon juice. Stir in the remaining butter. Add more salt and Kashmiri chilli powder to adjust it to your taste if needed.

Cut the paneer into cubes and add to the sauce. Leave to simmer on a low heat for 5 minutes and then serve.
