Curried Lentils With Paneer
- 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 1/2 teaspoon curry powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 large carrot, shredded
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 2 cups cooked lentils*
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 8 ounces paneer* or extra-firm tofu, cut into cubes
- Heat 1 tbsp. oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add spices and toast until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add onion and garlic and cook until beginning to soften, about 2 minutes. Add carrot, peas, lentils, salt, and remaining 2 tbsp. oil, stirring to combine. Stir in paneer and cook 2 minutes.
- *Find cooked lentils at Trader Joe's. Find paneer--a fresh cheese that's pressed until firm--at well-stocked grocery stores or Indian markets.
