Kate's Faux Shahi Paneer

Because, yeah.  I love Indian food, and eating out every night so is not in the budget.  Not when there is kibble to be bought for the furkids who are, after all, much more important.


(I usually make tomato sauce in bulk, but I'm assuming not everyone does that.  Use about 3 cups of your bulk tomato sauce or use this.)

1 package fry-able cheese (I usually use Queso Blanco or Queso Fresco)
2 cans diced tomatoes
1 can pureed tomatoes
 dried onions or fresh diced onions
1/2--1 cup milk

Spices:
tumeric
garlic
cumin
garam masala
whatever else smells good

Optional:
your favorite veggies (broccoli, cauliflower, snap peas.... )
cashews
raisins

Slice the cheese into chunks and lightly brown in a fry pan with the onion.  When it's nicely browned, dump over the tomatoes and dump in the spices and the milk.  I use half garam masala-- half everything else. Turn heat to low.   Let it simmer while the rice cooks.

Serve over brown or white basmati rice
