Being hungry past when the grocery store is closed is probably a good thing, it forced me to use some of the stuff in the fridge. Tonight's challenge: half a block of paneer, 1 potato, peanut oil, some spices, a hint of lemon juice, a sliver of yellow onion, most of one green onion and a hard boiled egg.
Now, that ingredients list is alarmingly similar to a dish I've made before, specifically here. This is really just a variation of that. The lack of enthusiasm to fry my eggs also helped. I have some hard boiled eggs in the fridge for emergency sandwiches right now, so they worked beautifully.
Potato Paneer Egg thing,
Serves 1
1 medium sized potato, cubed into 1cm x 1cm pieces, ish,
1/2 block of paneer, leftover from the Saag Paneer recipe, cubed into 1cm x 1cm pieces, ish,
1 hard boiled egg, quartered a few times
1/4 tps of cinnamon, cumin, tumeric and coriander,
1 green onion, sliced
1 slice of white or yellow onion, chopped
3/4 tps ish of lemon juice,
Peanut oil for pan
Soak potatoes in cold water with some ice cubes for at least 15 minutes to remove excess starch. Rinse, and boil in salted water until soft throughout when poked with knife. Drain and set aside.
Heat frying pan and peanut oil at medium high heat. Add spice mixture of cinnamon, cumin, tumeric and coriander to oil, and stir fry for 1 minute.
Add yellow/white onions to pan and stir for one minute to mix with spices. Add potatoes and stir for a few minutes. They will break up, that's okay. As they start to brown a bit, add paneer and stir. Reduce heat to lo-medium and heat through.
Add green onions, lemon juice and egg, and heat through. Serve warm!
Tastes far more appetizing than it looks, honest.
